Operational Groups are regional or national practice-oriented innovation projects supported by rural development programmes under the Common Agricultural Policy. The EIP-AGRI helps these projects to work in synergy with other interactive innovation projects under Horizon. These Horizon "multi-actor projects" and "thematic networks" act at EU level and bring together partners from at least three countries.
All Horizon multi-actor projects and thematic networks as well as all EIP-AGRI Operational Groups use the common format to provide farmers, foresters, advisers or whoever is interested with short and concise practical information (so called 'practice abstracts'). Links to audio-visual material (photos, films, etc.) are included as much as possible.
The use of the EIP-AGRI common format facilitates not only the exchange of knowledge, but also the contact between potential partners in innovation projects.
It contributes to building up a unique repository of practical knowledge across the EU via the EIP-AGRI project database which supports the dissemination of results of all interactive innovation projects.
You can find an updated overview of all multi-actor projects on the EIP-AGRI website.
Find practice abstracts and project fiches in the EIP-AGRI project database! Information on new projects is regularly updated.
