Lorena van de Kolk from SmartAgriHubs will join Edwin Hecker to discuss the synergy between the 2 European projects.

The IoF2020 ecosystem is composed of running initiatives which are welcoming new ideas and new participants. How to catch these opportunities and continue working with EU funds? This session will present visitors with the upcoming open calls organised by EU projects: - SmartAgriHubs - ATLAS - Demeter - AgROBOfood Learn about the goals, timing, prerequisites and conditions for applying to the open calls.

Discussion about four persisting concerns related to data sharing. What is the best way to answer them? Key stakeholders provide their views.

The SmartAgriHubs innovation portal is a connecting tool. But not just any connecting tool. It connects the wide ensemble of AgriTech actors to all the necessary stakeholders. It activates a network of Digital Innovation Hubs and help users to find each other thanks to its user friendly interface and maps. Cherry on the cake, it's totally free! Learn how to make the most out of it for your business with a simple login.

Frank Berkers (TNO) leads the capacity building for Digital Innovation Hubs in the SmartAgriHubs project. In this session he will discuss the role and value of DIHs for farmers, innovation projects and the innovation ecosystem, and the need for continuous learning, with Lars H. Jensen (Food & Bio Cluster Denmark) and Hazel Peavoy (TSSG). Furthermore, he will explain the “DIH Exchange program”, a SmartAgriHubs program focused on capacity building by sharing experiences between DIHs.

In this session you will hear on how OPEN DEI supports the Digital Transformation projects in identifying gaps, making common developments and sharing results through activated mechanisms of collaboration such as sectorial working groups and cross-sectorial Task Forces focused on “Data sharing, Data Platforms and Pilot Implementations”. Successful previous experiences will be presented, based on the topic of data sharing and its importance in the agrifood sector.

Building an EU multi-actor community to achieve long-term impact and sustainability: In this session, core project partners of the EU H2020 multi-actor project EURAKNOS will present key outputs, results and recommendations such as the EURAKNOS Explorer's Guide for Thematic Networks and other multi-actor projects. Furthermore, the link to sister project EUREKA will be made, which builds on the prototype and proof of concept to scale up the scope of the platform to all multi-actor projects.

Synthesizing research findings to demonstrate the benefits of technological innovation through an accessible communication approach, thereby bridging the gaps between researchers, the public, consortium, policy-makers, and technology providers.

Debate about strategies and supporting tools for an effective outreaching of European agri-food innovations (EU projects’ results) and the key role of the IoF2020 IoT-Catalogue to support this goal.
