We share our insights into the function of thematic networks and the technological and policy structures needed to achieve higher impact.

Over the past two years, EURAKNOS has been networking with and learning from past and current Thematic Network (TN) projects*, and developing a proof of concept for an EU-wide knowledge platform. This is because we believe the future of innovation in European agriculture and forestry is based on the improved (digital) exchange of best practices between farmers, researchers and advisors from different sectors and member states.

Join us on Friday 26th February for our final conference where we will present our key findings:

• Our Explorer's Guide to Thematic Networks is available in 13 languages and shares key insights and advice to achieve the highest possible impact.
• Our prototype knowledge database
• Our recommendations for improvements to policy and funding structures

We will also explain how EUREKA is building on our results and the exciting outputs to expect from them in the near future, for example, the FarmBook database.

The day will be arranged in three sessions between 10:00 - 16:00 CET:

• The first will focus broadly on what we have achieved over the course of the project and how EUREKA will continue to further apply and develop our results.
• The second session will focus on how the Agricultural and Innovation Systems (AKIS) and TN community can make use of EURAKNOS outputs.
• The final session will address how policy and funding structures could be adapted to better support the function and sustainability of TNs to achieve maximal impact.

All sessions will include a presentation followed by Q&A and networking opportunities in breakout rooms.

Full agenda coming soon.

*Thematic Networks (TNs) are multi-actor projects working on a specific topic. They are promoted by EIP-AGRI and funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. The main aim of these projects are to collect and share practical, ready-for-use knowledge for agricultural and forestry actors.

EURAKNOS presents key findings relating to improving the sustainability of EU Thematic Networks and their results.

Thematic Networks (TNs) are multi-actor projects working on a specific topic. They are promoted by EIP-AGRI and funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. The main aim of these projects are to collect and share practical, ready-for-use knowledge for agricultural and forestry actors.

However, sustainability of TNs and their knowledge is a problem, so over the past two years, EURAKNOS has been networking with and learning from past and current TN projects, and developing a proof of concept for an EU-wide knowledge platform. These findings can offer insight into how we can prevent valuable knowledge resources from becoming lost.

Join us in between 10:00-15:00 CET on Friday 5th February, when we will present:

• 10:00 - 10:45 Our Explorer's Guide to Thematic Networks which offers key insights and advice to achieve the highest possible impact (available in 13 languages)
• 11:00 - 11:45 Our recommendations for improvements to policy and funding structures.
• 12:00 - Lunch
• 14:00 - 15:00 Our prototype knowledge database.

In each session there will be a short presentation followed by Q&A.
