This was the inaugural meeting of the network. The first matter discussed was the aim of the network and suggested topics (see http://lcn.pascalobservatory.org/networks/urban-rural).

There was a general discussion about the suggested topics. The two topics that were of most interest to follow up on were:

  1. Regional Economic Development: Strategies that focus on promoting employment, entrepreneurship, and small business start-ups and development, and
  2. Measures to combat changing demographics due to COVID-19 migration.
