The SIMRA MOOC (Massive Online Open Course), titled “Social Innovation in Rural Areas” is going to start running on 30 March. The MOOC is hosted in FutureLearn, a global platform offering online courses from many reputed institutions on hundreds of different topics. The course can be accessed through:

It can be followed for free, although those who want to get a certificate can upgrade by paying a fee. The course has been developed by UNIPD and IAMZ-CIHEAM the basis of the face to face course we organised in Zaragoza last November, and several of our SIMRA partners have provided the contents: Hutton (also supporting with editings), Perth college, Wageningen, EfiMed, UNIPD (again), BOKU; Seeds Int has also produced  material to present their case of a women’s cooperative in Lebanon.
