Smart AKIS - European agricultural knowledge and innovation systems towards innovation-driven research in smart farming technology

Smart-AKIS will compile existing knowledge on Smart Agricultural Technology (SAT) and generate user-friendly materials in the common EIP-Agri format. The project will integrate the socioeconomic aspects of innovation processes and foster interactive and innovative collaborations among researchers, advisors, and farmers through open innovation in multi-stakeholder workshops. Knowledge flow will be facilitated through the implementation of the Smart Agriculture Community Platform, compatible with EIP-SP, to ensure the long-term accessibility of results.

The Network aims to establish a self-sustaining Thematic Network on Smart Agricultural Technology, designed for effective exchange between research, industry, extension and the agricultural community, in order to disseminate directly applicable commercial and research solutions and capture needs and innovative ideas at the grassroots level.
