For the last newsletter of the year 2020, we have several news for you. The end of the EURAKNOS project is coming soon: It means the last deliverables and last events but also a new beginning with EUREKA.

This newsletter tells you about the Explorer’s Guide, give you an update about our sister project, EUREKA, share with you a little about PANACEA: a non-food crops platform, and tickle your brain with some new interesting (online) events.

This newsletter is dedicated to Cross Exchanges, you will find the summaries of the latest CEs and the dates and themes of the next and last ones.

EUREKA is one of a growing ‘family’ of EU-funded projects that aim to strengthen and improve the flow of agricultural and rural-related knowledge and innovation at European, national and regional level and is very closely linked to EURAKNOS, building on our work on optimising the flow of knowledge from TNs.

The University of Santiago de Compostella, in Spain, organised a virtual Cross-Exchanges between thematic networks and operational groups to exchange knowledge about agroforestry and climate change innovations in SouthWest of Europe.

The newsletter of September presents the virtual cross-exchanges organised by different partners from the consortium and highlighting multiple thematics.

One of the aims of the EURAKNOS is to widen the TN Community and exchange best practices and methodologies of Thematic Networks. These are also summarized in the TNs Explorers’ Guide that will soon be published online.

On July 9, two Thematic Networks, SmartAKIS and SMARTPROTECT, and three other multi-actor projects, OPTIMA, INNOSETA, and IPMWORKS exchanged experiences on multi-actor approaches and dissemination strategies in the field of Smart Protection after an introduction on the EURAKNOS project and presentations of the different invited projects. Two operational groups (OGs), Smart spraying on Olive Trees (Greece), and OG W&W leeks and cabbages 2.0 (Flanders) presented their activities. About 40 participants, including advisors, scientists, managing authorities, and an SME, were engaged in the lively discussion.

Within the framework of EURAKNOS, Organic Farm Knowledge (OFK) is presented as a good example of an existing electronic knowledge reservoir platform (e-KRP). The online meeting provided an opportunity to discuss with the participants how the TN platform can be further developed and improved, based on the results from a user survey.
