This half-day conference, organised by the Brussels based research offices of the Visegrad 4 countries – NRDIO, CZELO, PolSCA, SLORD – with the title: “Benefits and challenges of participation in co-funded partnerships with a thematic focus on Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment”.

The opening presentation, provided by the European Commission about the strategic planning of the partnership landscape and the first results of the partnership monitoring exercise will be followed by a policy panel, which will cover topics like the planning of support structures, funding and human resources in order to facilitate the successful participation in co-funded partnerships.

During lunch we will have the possibility to continue our discussions in a more informal way.
