What is LINC?
LINC wants to promote networking and the exchange of experience between European LEADER Areas in an innovative way.
LINC combines the transfer of knowledge about innovation in rural development with sport events so that the participants can network. LAG Teams from European LEADER Areas can show their sporting spirit and skill.
Out of that reason there should be teams of 3 people from every Leader area or National Rural Network Unit who register for LINC.
“LINC” means:
- LEADER
- Inspired
- Network
- Community
With this in mind this conference was created, in order to promote transnational co-operation and an inciting exchange of experience as well as to strengthen the European LEADER’s thought. To learn from others experience, is a principle that everyone can profit from!
