The NATI00NS, a Soil Mission Project, is hosting the event: Smart Specialisation meets EU Soil Mission, which will take place online on 24 January 2024 at 10:00 CET. It will feature a Europe-wide discussion about the relationship, at a regional level, between the Smart Specialisation Research and Innovation Strategies (RIS3) and the Soil Mission (SM), creating a debate that, for sure, will enrich both working areas.

The following challenges will be tackled: 

• identify examples of connections that already exist/are foreseen/intuited between RIS3 and the SM objectives; 

• discover the possibilities for the implementation of the strategies to solve soil troubles;

• policy good practices to guide the processes of orienting RIS3 towards the mission and vice versa.

The event will feature discussions with the European Commision - DG Agriculture & Rural Development, S3 Community of Practice, Expert from the Utrecht University and Agro, Forestry and Post-Industrial regions Good Practices.
