The BMLRT combines the responsibilities for key issues for creating and maintaining our quality of life and for shaping a future worth living for our children. LEADER is coordinated and processed in Department II/9, Education, Innovation, Local Development and Cooperation.
Many rural development issues affect several focal areas. Cross-sectoral, integrative measures are to be developed specifically for these topics. The network is installed and financed by the Ministry and operates according to a defined work programme. Responsibility for LEADER is divided between Luis Fidlschuster, Michael Fischer and Barbara Pia Hartl.
