This document discusses options for the future hosting of the EIARD Secretariat. The current situation has the Secretariat hosted by the European Commission DG RTD, but there are disadvantages like low interest from DG RTD and restrictive rules. Scenario options discussed are: 1) Continuing the status quo but improving recruitment. 2) Merging EIARD with SCAR to gain higher profile and address more strategic areas. 3) Rotating the Secretariat hosting among EIARD members. 4) Hosting the Secretariat in Bonn back-to-back with GDPRD for better rural development links.
