AgriResearch Conference – Innovating for the future of farming and rural communities

AgriResearch Conference – Innovating for the future of farming and rural communities

From 2^nd to 3^rd May, 2018, The European Commission, in particular the directorate-general for agriculture and rural development , will organise a Agriresearch Conference titled Innovating for the future of farming and rural communities

The EU AgriResearch Conference is dedicated to scientists, farmers, rural communities, industry, advisors, policy-makers, citizens and NGO representatives who wish to learn about EU agriculture and rural R&I activities and achievements and to have their say on how to shape the future of agriculture R&I after 2020.

The conference objectives are:

• to take stock of the implementation of the strategic approach to EU agricultural R&I and present its first achievements on knowledge produced, linkages established between EU policies or new avenues opened in terms of implementation approaches;
• to kick-start a participatory process to discuss how to further structure agricultural and rural R&I activities under future EU policies, in particular the future EU framework programme for research and innovation and the future CAP by identifying key issues deserving particular attention under the different strategy priorities and exploring how to maximise impact and synergies between the various EU policies and instruments.

 

 

The event is free of charge and open to all willing to attend.

Registration is open and will close on 18th of April or once the event is fully booked if it happens earlier.
