Improving competitiveness between EU rural regions through access to tertiary education and sources of innovation

Iona Cecily Moore Kirkpatrick, Tatjana Horvat, Vito Bobek · 2020 · International Journal of Diplomacy and Economy

Summary. Rural EU regions suffer from poor educational access, weak role models, and low dietary standards, creating limited social mobility and health problems. The authors propose integrating tertiary education with agricultural innovation to address these interconnected challenges. They argue that combining educational access with sector-specific innovation can improve regional competitiveness, social welfare, and economic viability in marginalized rural areas.
