TN Learnings
Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation Strategies
This report presents a framework to support strategic decision making was developed outlining three complementary dissemination pathways to generate, multiply, and disperse knowledge. Further recommendations and examples of good practice also relate to dissemination and exploitation tools and channels.
Fostering the Multi-Actor Approach in TNs
Based on outcomes from our Paris workshop on 12th-13th December 2019, this report provides recommendations to foster the multi-actor approach in all project activities.
Report on EURAKNOS' Second Workshop
This report provides the outline, methodologies and main results of our second EURAKNOS workshop aiming to discuss, develop and validate the HIKR technical guidelines to be presented in the TN Explorer's Guide.
Application of the Multi-Actor Approach in TNs
This report maps the methods used by past and present TNs to incorporate the multi-actor approach. Based on these results, recommendations for effective involvement of multiple actors are made.
Communication and dissemination tools and channels used by TNs
This assessment maps the practices used by past and present TNs and analyses their success at reaching farmers, foresters and end-users. Results inform recommendations for more efficient communication and dissemination via tools and channels appropriate for the target audience to increase impact.
Format and design of TN knowledge reservoirs
This report describes the format and design of knowledge reservoirs developed by existing TNs and offers some recommendations to improve the consistency of approaches used by TNs to increase impact.
Data and Knowledge Formats of TNs
A report comparing the ways in which existing TNs produce, collect and store knowledge, considering TN origin, content, format and synergies
Outcomes from Budapest Workshop: Recommendations for High Impact TNs
This report contains the results of the Budapest workshop where TN best practices were discussed. Twenty recommendations are presented.
e-Knowledge Reservoir Platform
HIKR methodologies and practices for data generation, selection, collection and storage
This report deals with the issue of knowledge acquisition by TNs to identify and define the processes used to compile knowledge content in their knowledge reservoir and then disseminate it to end-users.
Database, technology choices and e-KRP recommendations
This report presents a strategy to move from the HIKR to the e-KRP, including recommendations for how to attain a user-friendly and accessible digital platform.
Feasibility and added value of an e-Knowledge Reservoir Platform
This feasibility study for a new centralised and open-source agricultural innovation e-KRP includes a sustainability plan which outlines technological, social, legal and financial considerations.
Developing High Impact: The Future EU-wide Open Source Knowledge Reservoir for Agriculture and Forestry
An aspirational 5-year vision for a common digital data platform for agriculture and forestry actors to access information based on outputs of EU H2020 thematic networks.

AGRIFORVALOR- exploiting sidestream biomass resources
Around the world, industries of all kinds produce waste. However, for industries involved in the use of natural resources, it is perhaps better to think of these products not as waste but rather as opportunity.
AGRIFORVALOR brings together members from all sectors adjacent to the bio-economy, helping identify where value can be found in sidestreams from agriculture and forestry and getting those feedstocks to innovators who transform them from ‘waste’ into valued commodities.

WINETWORK - Collaborative innovation in the wine sector
In the WINETWORK project, the approach will be implemented in ten regions from seven countries representing more than 90% of the EU wine production. The main topic addressed is the fight against diseases that jeopardise the future production potential of the EU (Grapevine Trunk Diseases and Flavescence Dorée). As they represent a threat for the economic viability of the entire sector, these topics have been previously identified as a priority by winegrowers, scientists and decision-makers.

SKIN - Focussing on the short food supply chain
SKIN is the EU Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) Thematic Network.Examples of SFSCs in Europe are numerous, but they are generally small in scale, limited in impact and highly fragmented. This is an obstacle for farmers and other stakeholders acting in the value chain to implement viable and efficient solutions.The aim of SKIN is to tackle such fragmentation in the access to different practice models, systematise information, empower the potential innovators and create a EU community on SFSCs, with the objective of enhancing innovation capabilities and pathways supporting the development of efficient SFSCs.
