Driven by the challenges as well as opportunities for high-impact research to advance the quality of life in small, remote, and rural communities, the University of Virginia will convene a workshop to explore challenges and research opportunities, to facilitate collaborations, and ultimately, to define a connected rural communities research agenda. Specifically, the research exploration will be discussed through the lens of how technology, communications, and networking can advance polycentric development. The two-day workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners, nonprofit organizations, industry partners, government representatives, and community stakeholders in the domain of Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) with representation from around the United States (U.S.). Successful implementation of this workshop will result in a connected rural communities research agenda detailing new opportunities for research with long-term impact and near-term outcomes. Participants will engage in discussions to characterize and design future S&CC testbeds together with communities themselves, to support the interative S&CC research cycle necessary for transformative innovations that benefit communities. The workshop will explore a diversity of domains (e.g., mobility, economic development, education, and public and telehealth) and their interconnectivity. In order to assure representation of multiple perspectives, the workshop organizers will prioritize participation of minority and underrepresented community members, and those that can speak from experience on the relevant challenges and opportunities in small, remote, and rural communities around the U.S. It is anticipated that half of the participants will be from outside the academic community. Participation of early-career researchers and practitioners are especially emphasized to catalyze new partnerships and research communities in this critical domain.

在高影响力研究的挑战和机遇的推动下，提高小型、偏远和农村社区的生活质量，弗吉尼亚大学将召开一次研讨会，探讨挑战和研究机会，促进合作，并最终，确定互联的农村社区研究议程。具体来说，研究探索将通过技术、通信和网络如何促进多中心发展的角度进行讨论。为期两天的研讨会将汇集智能互联社区 (S&CC) 领域的研究人员、从业者、非营利组织、行业合作伙伴、政府代表和社区利益相关者，以及来自美国 (U.S.) 各地的代表。 本次研讨会的成功举办将产生一个相互联系的农村社区研究议程，详细说明具有长期影响和近期成果的研究的新机会。参与者将与社区本身一起参与讨论，描述和设计未来的 S&CC 测试平台，以支持造福社区的变革性创新所需的交互式 S&CC 研究周期。该研讨会将探讨多种领域（例如流动性、经济发展、教育以及公共和远程医疗）及其相互关联性。为了确保多种观点的代表性，研讨会组织者将优先考虑少数族裔和代表性不足的社区成员以及那些能够从经验中谈论美国各地小型、偏远和农村社区的相关挑战和机遇的人的参与。一半的参与者将来自学术界之外。特别强调早期职业研究人员和从业者的参与，以促进这一关键领域的新伙伴关系和研究社区。
