Network to Innovate – Beyond EIP: Challenges and Opportunities
The online workshop, "Beyond EIP: Challenges and Opportunities," will take place on March 18, 2025. It is organized by the Rural Networks of Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Poland and it's a great opportunity to connect with others in the field, share knowledge, and potentially create new partnerships.
This workshop focuses on EIP operational groups from the Nordic-Baltic region that were nominated for the EIP-AGRI Innovation Awards 2024 and have already completed their project activities. We will explore what happens to innovations after the project concludes, including the challenges and obstacles the partnerships face, any additional resources that may be needed, and the opportunities that have arisen.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and share their experiences, fostering collaboration among the different operational groups. By identifying best practices and lessons learned, this workshop aims to enhance the sustainability and impact of future agricultural innovations in the region.
The event is divided into three thematic sessions (Business Models in Food Supply Chains, Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, and Digitalization), where speakers will introduce their innovative solutions.
Following the presentations, we'll dive into a discussion round where participants can leave their questions to the speakers.
To facilitate communication, we are using the Padlet dashboard, that will be added later.
