The Subgroup on Innovation and Knowledge Exchange
From October 2022, the Subgroup on Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (SoIKE) will start its activities in the new EU CAP Network.
January 2015, the European Rural Networks’ Assembly was successfully launched as the main governance body of the ENRD and EIP-AGRI Networks. The Assembly provided the strategic framework for the activities of the network support units and formed a platform to share stakeholders’ priorities and concerns, covering all aspects of the Rural Development Policy 2014-2020. More information here.
From 2015 to 2022, the European Rural Networks’ Assembly included several subgroups. The permanent Subgroup on Innovation for agricultural productivity and sustainability (hereafter 'Subgroup on Innovation') was one of them.
This permanent subgroup paid specific attention to the EIP-AGRI Network, working with the EIP-AGRI Service Point to catalyse innovation and make EU agriculture and forestry more sustainable and more productive.
The main objectives of the Subgroup on Innovation were to:
- support the implementation of the EIP-AGRI in Rural Development Programmes
- identify common issues, problems and good practices
- support networking between EIP-AGRI Operational Groups
- provide input for the work programme of the EIP-AGRI Network
-
cooperate with the National Rural Networks to support innovation
More information and updates on the Subgroup on Innovation and Knowledge Exchange, including its tasks and roles, will be posted on this page when available.
