D1.4: Initial Case Study Assessment and Selection Framework

The FLIARA project aims to create an inclusive and empowering innovation ecosystem for rural women, ensuring they are recognised, supported, and celebrated in their accomplishments. The project aims to achieve this by: • Showcasing rural women’s achievements and contributions; • Providing them with inspiration and knowledge resources; • Facilitating connections with key players in the innovation landscape; • Amplifying their presence in national and international decision-making circles • Enhancing their capacity and skills to take on leadership roles in the innovation sector. Specifically, FLIARA focuses on addressing the challenges faced by women driving agricultural and rural innovative development practices. Through this initiative, women's innovations will receive increased visibility and recognition, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. A variety of systematic approaches and procedures are used to carry out the FLIARA project's goals and objectives, one of which is the execution of 200 interviews on sustainable innovations led by rural women in ten EU nations.
