EIP-AGRI Brochure Operational Groups Update 2016

Innovation is essential for a competitive and sustainable European farming and forestry sector. EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) are groups of people who work together in an innovation project funded by Rural Development Programmes (RDPs). Operational Groups are the EIP-AGRI's main tool for turning innovative ideas into real solutions for the field. To set up and implement a successful Operational Group, it takes a good innovative idea, the right partners, a solid plan and effective ways of spreading results. The new EIP-AGRI brochure on Operational Groups gives an update on the information and support that is available, with examples from OG projects that have already started.
