The Conference will focus on the upcoming New Strategic Approach to Research and Innovation for competitive, resilient and sustainable agriculture, forestry, rural areas and food systems, centred on future-proofing the EU agri-food sector through AgRI 2040 and Food 2040.
Taking place in Brussels on 24–25 September, the two-day event will bring together policymakers, researchers, farmers, foresters, businesses, innovators, start-ups, SMEs, advisers, NGOs and other stakeholders to exchange ideas and co-create priorities for the next generation of EU research and innovation. It will also provide an opportunity to help shape the priorities of the next Horizon Europe EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme and the future European Competitiveness Fund.
