Abstract

The objective of this study is to focus on the role of training in its broadest sense, which not only concerns the transfer of theoretical knowledge, but also the technical and professional skills, as well as the planning assistance and/or the access to regional, national, or European financing sources, as a founding tool for economic development. Attention will be paid to some itinerant training/information formats adopted within Sardinia, aimed to evaluate their effectiveness by monitoring and measuring the local and regional socio-economic impact. The theoretical reference to knowledge co-creation activities in rural areas is recalled, having its roots in the institution of traveling professors. The figure of the innovation broker as an “itinerant” facilitator of relationships appears to fit despite the “dwarfism” and lack of propensity to innovation, not only among Sardinian agricultural companies. Such figure is also foreseen by the second pillar of the CAP, referring to the programming of 2007–2013, powerfully relaunched in the following one, relative to 2023–2027.
