SUMMARY:Boosting Agrifood Research and Innovation Cooperation for Impact at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Agrifood systems need to become more sustainable\, healthy\, productive\, inclusive\, climate resilient to be able to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. This requires profound changes through the contribution of research and innovation (R&I). The EU Research and Innovation cooperation agenda is implemented within the framework of various dialogue fora with partner countries. It is also part of the Global Gateway including a pillar on “education and research”. It mobilizes different EU instruments and programs such as the DeSIRA initiative or the Horizon Europe programme. This conference is organized by DG INTPA in collaboration with other EU Directorate Generals.It specifically addresses the question of how cooperation in R&I can contribute to desirable agrifood systems transformation\, discussing principles\, partnerships\, methods for innovation at scale\, capacities\, funding\, and policies. The conference is built on the collective achievements and consolidated lessons of the DeSIRA initiative and takes stock of other R&I programmes implemented or supported by EU. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Conference Objectives\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The main conference objectives are to: \n\nShare results and lessons on the contribution of R&I projects to food systems transformation in LMICs through the experiences of UE interventions and similar other international interventions. \nIdentify key enablers and hurdles for innovation at scale for productive\, inclusive\, and sustainable investments into agrifood systems.\nExplore future contributions of R&I for agrifood systems transformation\, innovation system strengthening and innovation policies in support of development agendas (SDGs\, post Malabo\, Science Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa\, EU Global Gateway strategy).\nInform policy makers and provide recommendations on improved complementarity and synergy of EU mechanisms and approaches to support R&I at scale in partner countries\, including inputs to the EU-Africa R&I Partnership on FNSSA.\n\nLean more: https://www.desiralift.org/conference/
