Description

METREX is organising its Autumn Conference in Braga, core city of the InterMunicipal Region of Cavado, (CIM Cavado), Northern Portugal. We will look into the Urban-Rural balance, emphasising on the importance of supporting the rural communities and building a stronger economy, matching the local characteristics. We will offer the Rural Pact group a platform to explain the vision and following actions, but also look into concrete examples in the wider area. We will invite all our members, and give floor to our members who have big rural and 'in-between areas' inside.
