European rural youth observatory

A new online observatory will bring together rural youth stakeholders and serve as an open-access repository of research data, methodological tools and best-practices concerning rural NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).

The observatory is a research-oriented association led by researchers and composed of scholars, third-sector representatives, public services providers, youth workers, and rural young people committed to moving European rural youth forward. It was launched at the closing event of the Rural NEET Youth Network COST Action on 12 March 2024 and is intended to ensure the continuity of the project beyond its end. 

Look out for upcoming open-data publications on rural youth, which will be continuously added to the observatory.
