About the Event
This time, you will have the opportunity to discover how successful EIP-AGRI Operational Group results can go beyond the original project and reach wider audiences, regions, and users. Examples from the Nordic-Baltic region and beyond will showcase how effective communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration can help scale up and facilitate the uptake of innovative solutions in new contexts. The Horizon Europe projects PREMIERE and EU-FarmBook will also present examples of how tools, platforms, and networks can support the dissemination, sharing, and wider uptake of project results.
From communicating results to reaching the right audiences, supporting uptake in new regions, and scaling successful solutions, examples from the Nordic-Baltic region and beyond will show how innovation can create impact well beyond the original project.
The event will bring together experts, researchers, advisors, and practitioners to share experiences and discover how good results can travel further. Together with the Horizon Europe projects PREMIERE and EU-FarmBook, we will look at practical tools, platforms, and approaches that can help connect project results with the people and places where they can make a difference.
Schedule
Meet the speakers
PREMIERE Multi-Actor Academy
Albert Escolà i Solés from the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food of the Government of Catalonia will introduce the PREMIERE Online Multi-Actor Academy, a free learning space providing practical resources on the Multi-Actor Approach (MAA) as defined in Horizon Europe. The Academy builds on the experience of PREMIERE and previous projects such as LIAISON and provides resources to help practitioners understand and apply the MAA when developing, strengthening and taking innovations further.
Remote Digital Autopsy for Cattle Farms
Minttu Huttunen from the University of Helsinki will introduce a new Remote Digital Autopsy (RDA) service model that enables veterinarians to perform cattle necropsies on farms while pathologists provide diagnoses remotely. The approach can make disease diagnostics faster and more accessible, particularly for farms where transporting animals for necropsy is difficult. The project is developing guidelines and training for producers, veterinarians, and pathologists, with the aim of establishing a practical model that could later be expanded to other livestock sectors.
EU-FarmBook – Taking Innovation Further
Katrin Pihor from the Centre of Estonian Rural Research and Knowledge (METK) will highlight why sharing Operational Group results is a key to make innovation travel beyond individual projects. She will show how the EU-wide platform EU-FarmBook helps make practice-oriented results from research and Operational Group projects findable, accessible, shareable and reusable, supporting their journey from individual projects towards wider audiences, new contexts and practical application across Europe.
Polish Ginger – How Far Can Innovation Take Us? From Local Implementation to International Dissemination
Prof. dr hab. Joanna Kobus-Cisowska and Prof. dr hab. Piotr Szulc from the Poznań University of Life Sciences will present the “Polish Ginger” project, exploring how ginger cultivation can be successfully introduced under Polish conditions. The presentation will show how cooperation between researchers, farmers, and food industry partners led from developing cultivation and processing technologies to market-ready products based on Polish-grown ginger. It will also highlight how project results have been disseminated beyond Poland, demonstrating how a local innovation can reach wider markets and audiences.
