Craft beer and local community development (CraBloom)
The purpose of the project is to develop unique knowledge about the importance of microbreweries for community development in the sparsely populated areas in Tröndelag and Jämtland County's, and further what role these small breweries have as identity creators and enablers for local development.
Mid Sweden University in Sweden and the North University in Norway participate in the joint project “Microbreweries as creators of opportunities in the local community (CraBloom)” on the role of microbreweries in local development.
Through relationships and knowledge development about the microbrewery industry, the goal is to establish a long-term cross-border research collaboration between the two universities on the role and importance of microbreweries for local development in rural areas, and further to mobilize partners for a more comprehensive project on microbreweries and local development.
