Living Lab
County Roscommon is the territorial, living lab for the Citizen Rural project. Roscommon is located west of the River Shannon in Ireland’s midlands. The County is a diverse rural area undergoing change, remote from large cities but with strong linkages to urban centres, and with a network of small to medium sized towns. The county faces a number of immediate and future challenges as a result of its ageing population and the need for a just transition for communities who traditionally worked in natural resource based indutries.
We have partnered with Roscommon LEADER Partnership and Roscommon County Council to run the project locally. The Department of Rural and Community Development, with responsibility for Our Rural Future, is the national partner.
