NEW!!! FP7, RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE (INCO) SUPPORTING THE UPTAKE OF AGRI-FOOD RESEARCH RESULTS INTO INNOVATION WITH EPC COUNTRIES 12 partners The SUAFRI-EPC project tasks : 1.Networking between Agri-Food actors: Mapping EPC Agri-Food actors at different level of the knowledge value chain and organise brokerage events 2.Analyse the potential for cooperation and knowledge transfer in the field 3.Exchange best practices in knowledge/technology transfer via a range of specific training courses 4.Implement one R2I pilot project in each targeted EPC countries with a European partner: Armenia, Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine 5.Innovation support services to EPC (and European) Agri-Food organisations willing to receive hands-on support for their RDI activities. Begin date: End date : General project objective: to bridge the gap between Agri-Food research and innovation in Eastern Partnering Countries (EPC), by bringing together all actors of the knowledge value chain and raising their awareness on how to uptake research results into innovation FP7 PROJECT - SUAFRI-EPC
