During the 13th EURIPA Rural Health Forum in Lincoln in 2024 a workshop took place to consider how academic rural health could be developed across Europe from both the research and education perspectives. From this workshop a new network, under the umbrella of EURIPA, has been established: the Rural Health European Academic Network – RHEAN.
The aim of the new network is to bring together rural health academics from across Europe currently working in the fields of rural health research and multidisciplinary education & training for rural health practice
Support has been offered by the Lincoln Institute of Rural and Coastal Health and an initial scoping project is starting in March. The project aims to understand what is currently happening across Europe. A short survey of practitioners in the field of rural health aims to map rural health-related research and education activities across Europe is taking place.
