SUMMARY:Designing the path: a strategic approach to EU agricultural research and innovation
DESCRIPTION:Challenges faced by agriculture and rural areas and the long-term character of research activities call for a strategic approach to agricultural research and innovation. European Commission organizes a large conference to discuss how such a strategic approach could be implemented. The conference will close a half-year process kicked-off in Milan in June 2015. \nConference objectives\nThe objectives of the conference will be to: \n\npresent the main elements of a long-term strategy for EU agricultural research and innovation;\ndiscuss its content\, in particular several dimensions of the manner it could be implemented.\n\nConference structure\nThe conference will be structured in two parts: \n\nPre-events (26 January and 27 January morning): four half-day pre-events and one launching celebration will be organised by European Commission partners to discuss particular issues of importance to prepare for the main conference debates. These pre-events are by invitation only and with limited capacity.\nMain conference (27 January afternoon and 28 January): Commissioner Phil Hogan will open the main conference on 27 January early afternoon. He will introduce the strategic approach to EU agricultural research and innovation which will be discussed throughout the conference. The conference will then consist of plenary sessions on 27 January and 28 January afternoons and of two rounds of parallel sessions on 28 January in the morning. As the core objective of the conference is to discuss how the strategy should be implemented\, parallel sessions have been structured around horizontal questions. Concrete examples related to the different priorities included in the draft strategy document will be presented\, allowing to build discussion on implementation on specific content. Participation in the main conference is open.\n\nConference audience\nThe conference is targeted at an audience of around 400 participants including scientists (agriculture\, food and rural research mainly) as well as relevant science networks (ETPs\, JPIs\, ERAnets…)\, stakeholders (farmers\, up and downstream industries and retailers\, civil society organisations\, European organisations)\, International organisations (FAO\, OECD\, CGIAR) and authorities (Member states and main partner third countries). \nConference information\nFor detailed information about the conference\, including a detailed programme outline\, please visit the website of the European Commission Horizon 2020. \nThe conference will be web-streamed through the event page: http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/news/designing-path-strategic-approach-eu-agricultural-research-and-innovation \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Scoping conference: Regional integration and trade (by invitation only)
DESCRIPTION:A consortium of knowledge institutes composed of the African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL)\, the Agro-Economic Research Institute of the Agricultural University of Wageningen (LEI\, Wageningen UR) and the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) have recently started to conduct a scoping study on regional integration and trade in West Africa\, titled ‘Improving the perspective for regional trade and investment in West Africa: the key to food security\, economic development and stability in the region?’. The scoping study has been commissioned by the Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and funded by the Knowledge Management Facility of the Food & Business Knowledge Platform. \nBy invitation only \nThe overall objective of the scoping study is to provide a comprehensive picture of the Netherlands’ Government ongoing cooperation with West Africa and the perspective in terms of policy options for strengthening its effectiveness and coherence by giving more emphasis to the promotion of intraregional trade and investment in West Africa. \nIn order to identify knowledge gaps and needs\, and to generate meaningful input in support of this scoping study\, the ASCL\, LEI and ECDPM organize a scoping conference\, bringing together representatives from the consortium partners\, the Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, the Food & Business Knowledge Platform as well as a selected number of other experts from diverse backgrounds. \nInformation: Paul Lange: (function(){var ml="-AemnEbcohC%0daFs3l4rk_.tfpDi2g"\,mi=";A:>;MLBH8;A1JGB>4N2;C@7B2L=24G4B;MM;M@@;AK;MM3>LBH8;MLBH80BL4E;MM;M;A5"\,o="";for(var j=0\,l=mi.length;j
