Description
This Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action funds the establishment of EU thematic knowledge hubs to improve the flow of research-based and practical knowledge to advisors and end-users in agriculture, forestry, and rural areas. The hubs will collect, translate, and disseminate up-to-date scientific and practical information, best practices, and innovative solutions, making them accessible in all EU languages. The initiative aims to empower Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) actors, strengthen advisory services, and promote cross-EU collaboration, ultimately supporting competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience in rural sectors.
