Congratulations to Dr Ellen Hjort on her successful recent trip to Sweden, where she delivered lectures on the topic of her doctoral thesis, exploring similarities and differences between the rural towns of Llanidloes (Wales) and Åsele in Västerbotten: vasterbottningen.se/2025-04-13/for…

Llongyfarchiadau i Dr Ellen Hjort am ei thaith ddiweddar i'w mamwlad, Sweden, i gynnal darlithoedd ar destun ei thraethawd doethurol, sy'n cymharu tebygrwydd a gwahaniaethau rhwng trefi gwledig Llanidloes yng Nghymru ac Åsele yn Västerbotten, Sweden: vasterbottningen.se/2025-04-13/for…

Yn dawel bach, rydym wedi bod yn brysur yn gweithio ar wefan newydd Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales! Disgwyl ymlaen i lawnsio hyn yn fuan... #mai2025

Behind the scenes, we've been busy working on the creation of our new Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales website! Watch this space... #may2025

Mae wedi bod yn ddiwrnod hynod ddiddorol o gyflwyniadau a thrafodaethau, gyda llawer o brosiectau cyfoethog ledled y DU. Thema a ailadroddwyd fu’r angen i feddwl am sut beth yw arweinyddiaeth lle y tu allan i feiri proffil uchel mewn prif ddinas-ranbarthau.

Siaradodd Mike am sut mae cydgynhyrchu gyda chymunedau yn cael ei gyfryngu gan wahanol arddulliau a chyfluniadau o arweinyddiaeth mewn cymunedau. Mae angen strategaethau arnom i drafod modelau arweinyddiaeth amrywiol ac i sicrhau cyfranogiad cymunedol cynhwysol.

Mae ein Cyfarwyddwr Michael Woods wedi bod yn rhannu myfrydodau at ein gwaith yng nghynhadledd @LPIPHub ar Adeiladu Gallu a Chapasiti yn ei Le heddiw.

It’s been a fascinating day of presentations & discussion, with lots of rich projects across the UK. A repeated theme has been the need to think about what place leadership looks like outside major city regions, especially rural areas & polycentric regions.

Mike spoke about how co-production with communities is mediated by different styles & configurations of leadership in communities. We need strategies to negotiate varying leadership models & to achieve inclusive community involvement.

Our Director Michael Woods has been sharing reflections on our work at the @LPIPHub conference on Capability and Capacity Building in Place today

@LPIPHub @KKollydas @Anne_E_Green Living and working in Rural Wales, this is so pertinent. Undoubtedly, flexible working arrangements impact on the attractiveness of rural regions to live, or whether to leave one's community for work opportunities. The point re. reliable digital infrastructure is fundamental.

What Online Job Posting Data Reveals About How Flexible and Remote Work Vary Across the UK @KKollydas and @Anne_E_Green investigate the geography of flexible and remote work in the UK, drawing on trends from online job posting data. ow.ly/3RLW50Vx9ag

Mor ddefnyddiol i ddysgu mwy am waith #ARFOR yn ei cynhadledd diweddar, yn darganfod canfyddiadau gwerthusiad ARFOR 2, a sut gellid eu defnyddio i gynllunio ar gyfer datblygu’r economi a’r iaith. Cyfle da hefyd i weld sut gall Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales cefnogi a chyd-weithio

So interesting and relevant to learn more about the work of #ARFOR at their conference recently, revealing the findings of the ARFOR 2 evaluation, and how the findings can be used to plan for the development of the economy and the language #cymraeg #llwyddonlleol #welsheconomy

@FarmersGuardian @LisaSmartMP @LibDems @wyn_wm - gallwn anfon ein adroddiad iddynt ar ôl i ni ei orffen?

Lisa Smart, Lib Dem MP for Hazel Grove, said it was 'unacceptable' that the Government's Crime and Policing Bill had not once addressed rural crime. 🚔❌🟠 🗣️“Rural crime is not an inconvenience; it is a growing crisis." READ MORE: farmersguardian.com/news/4410669/c…

@SP_RuralAffairs @ScotHumanRights @RhodaGrant This was such an interesting and pertinent clip. Here at Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales we are looking at many of the similar issues, and trying to identify solutions via research and data to the challenges facing rural communities. We could learn a lot from each other!

How do we persuade decision makers to design services that fit the purpose of rural communities? Listen in as Dr Luis Yanes of @ScotHumanRights responds to @RhodaGrant’s question 👇 Catching up?👉ow.ly/zOzC50V7tZs

Gyda un o themau'r prosiect yn edrych ar bontio i sero net, rydw i'n disgwyl ymlaen i ddarllen yr adroddiad yma, gweld pa syniadau / newidiadau sydd ar y gorwel, a lle gallwn helpu trwy gyfranu ein ymchwil ac arbenigedd

We had a fantastic few days in Llandrindod Wells last week, learning more about our WISERD colleagues' research, our own Dr Ellen Hjort presenting her project to the audience, and generating ideas on how to share our research via engagement strategies. Excellent event!
