Innovations and digital services have been identified as essential factors for sustainable service provision in rural areas. Implementation has so far been slow. The ongoing demographic development with ageing society, depopulation, loss of local facilities and long distances to health care, schools and shops calls for urgent changes in how services are delivered.

Co-creation is significant for meeting the needs of today and the future.

• co-creation gives more value for the resources invested (together we accomplish more)
• no need for everyone to invent the same solutions (not wasting resources)
• focusing on actual problems and needs (finding solutions)
• involving end-users' first-hand knowledge (avoiding mismatch, creating the right services)

This seminar is part of IMPROVE, an EU project funded under the INTERREG NPA Programme, which aims to co-produce new responsive, transparent and inclusive public services with our communities.
