This specific topic: Thematic Networks to compile and share knowledge ready for practice

Work programme page 538 - HORIZON-CL6-2022-GOVERNANCE-01-12 

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

• Collecting, translating and sharing with a multi-actor approach existing knowledge and best practices in a language that is appealing, easy to understand and is targeted to farmers and foresters’ needs.

• Making wider use of best practices and research findings that are close to being put into practice, but insufficiently known by practitioners.

• Creating added value by achieving greater user acceptance of collected solutions, to help the transition towards a smarter and greener agriculture and food system.

SCOPE

• Summarise, share and present - in a language that is easy to understand and is targeted to farmers and foresters – the existing best practices and research findings that are ready to be put into practice, but not sufficiently known or used by practitioners.

• Description the state of current farming practices on the chosen theme to explain the added-value of the proposal and the relevance of the theme. No duplication with ongoing or completed projects.

• Focus on cost/benefit aspects of collected practices.

• Deliver practical appealing material, easy to understand, using audio-visuals wherever possible, both at local and EU level (EIP-AGRI).

• Disseminate through national/regional/local AKIS channels, which are most consulted by farmers/foresters.

For this topic, projects can receive up to EUR 3 million for a project that lasts at least 3 years.
