Innovation areas RURITAGE has identified 6 Systemic Innovation Areas (SIA) (pilgrimages; sustainable local food production; migration; art and festivals; resilience; and integrated landscape management) which, integrated with 11 cross-cutting themes, showcase heritage potential as a powerful engine for economic, social and environmental development of rural areas.

Methodology The selected RMs will be transversally studied to identify the good practices implemented within their heritage-led regeneration plans related with the six SIAs identified. The best practices will be then transferred to Replicator Models.
