The RURITAGE activities were mainly targeted to six rural territories, the so-called Replicators. The replicating areas developed, implemented and monitored large scale demonstration projects for rural regeneration. Being Replicators has meant they had the big responsibility to understand, learn, tailor and replicate the successful strategies that have been identified in RURITAGE Role Models. Each Replicator has worked predominantly in one of the identified Systemic Innovation Areas but has been influenced also from some other SIAs.

To successfully develop their heritage-led regeneration strategies, the Replicators were assisted by both Role Models and the RURITAGE experts, the so-called Knowledge Facilitator Partners. The Role Models have directly mentored the Replicators by giving them insights and practical tips on how to develop and implement their heritage led regeneration strategies. At the same time, the Knowledge Facilitator Partners provided the Replicators with useful tools and direct support.

In February 2019 RURITAGE launched an open call for additional Replicators. In the end, 17 additional territories were chosen. The Additional Replicators are found further down on the page.

In February 2019 RURITAGE launched an open call for additional Replicators. The call aimed to open up  the project to additional rural communities in Europe and beyond that would like to learn how to successfully manage their CNH to regenerate their territory. RURITAGE received 87 applications and selected 17 Additional Replicators will have the opportunity to learn from the RURITAGE Role Models, Replicators and knowledge experts and to access a wide range of tools and knowledge to develop their own heritage-led regeneration plans. This will enable additional Rs to subsequently develop and implement strategies adapted to their own rural territory and increase the visibility of their region worldwide.
