Closing event of the regiosöl project on March 29th


The BÖL-funded research project regiosöl comes to a close. For three years, the Institute for Rural Structural Research (IfLS e.V.) together with the Center for Ecological Agriculture e.V. and the Regionalwert AG Rheinland, with the participation of Regionalwert Leistungen GmbH, have been researching approaches for recording the benefits and their effects at the regional level.

To conclude the project, we would like to cordially invite all interested parties to Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday, 29.03.2023 from 10:30 to 16: 00. Details can be found in the program below.

The conference will take place in the Ökohaus Frankfurt (Kasseler Str. 1a, 60486 Frankfurt a. M.). This is within walking distance of the Frankfurt/West train station. The physical well-being is provided with organic catering (vegetarian/vegan). We are currently looking into the possibility of an additional online transmission for the lectures.
