The InnoLand initiative is an extraordinary network for sustainable rural development at landscape level that extends over six countries of the EU-27. In contrast to many research projects, its aim is not only to develop solutions for a sustainable development approach but also to implement, to test and to evaluate these solutions. This ambitious programme has a common conceptual basis and is adjusted to the specifics and requirements of every region. As has been shown throughout the cases in all chapters, all the regions seek to realise an action-research approach that follows a joint procedural course and that is located at a science-practice interface invol-ving regional stakeholders in an ongoing dialogue with the scientists involved.
