A complex title, but simply this is a meeting of research projects funded by REA to bridge the gap between research and practice in agriculture and land management. Our research has provided solutions to increase sustainability in agriculture, but they need to be taken up and applied. 🧪

I’m reading that, from today, Swiss entities can apply the @HorizonEU research programme. Signing of contracts once the full agreement is in place. After the UK accession to the programme in 2024 this is a great step to putting the European research landscape back where it should be!
