Designing the path: a strategic approach to EU agricultural research and innovation

Challenges faced by agriculture and rural areas and the long-term character of research activities call for a strategic approach to research and innovation. The European Commission organises 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.

The objectives of the conference will be to:

• present the main elements of a long-term strategy for EU agricultural research and innovation;.
• discuss its content, in particular several dimensions of the manner it could be implemented.

The conference is targeted at an audience of around 400 participants including scientists, as well as relevant science networks, stakeholders, international organisations and authorities.
