Some of our team members were at the Rural Sociology Congress #ESRS2025 this week, discussing some of our top-notch work on rural population, island communities, socio-ecological transformations, agricultural policy, living labs and games methods. Did you catch any of their presentations?

Really looking forward to taking part in the 30th European Society for Rural Sociology Congress, taking place this year in Riga. A great opportunity to share ideas, explore new perspectives, and reflect on the present and future of rural life. #ESRS2025
