At the provincial level

18 LEADER regions form the Lower Austrian LEADER network. This is where programme implementation aspects are discussed and practical experiences are exchanged. The focus is on the common interest to realise and report on projects at the regional level. Networking takes place here from best-practice examples to joint cooperation projects throughout Lower Austria.

The most important contact partners of the LEADER regions at the Lower Austrian level are the Department for Agricultural Aid - also the “Regional Office responsible for Leader” – and ecoplus. NÖ Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH.

In addition to the ongoing cooperation with the relevant funding bodies, regular meetings, the Lower Austrian LEADER Jour fixe - meetings, ensure the necessary cooperation throughout Lower Austria. Compliance with guidelines and directives is also addressed in detail here, i.e. the material contributions of LEADER programmes to implementing certain provincial strategies.
