The background of knowledge-sharing – What is innovation? • Innovation: successful implementation of a new idea, • New idea: product, practice, service, production process or organizing method, financing, market access, etc. • Innovation: technological, non technological, or social, and could be based on new or traditional practices. • Interactive „system”-innovation is preferred, in which building blocks are expected to come from science, but also from practice.

The background of knowledge-sharing – The European context of innovation • Europe 2020 Strategy: R & D and innovation to meet new challenges, • European Innovation Partnerships (EIP): a new tool to foster knowledge transfer, • "Budget for Europe 2020„: 4.5 billion Euros for research and innovation in the field of food security, bio-economy and sustainable agriculture, • New Common Agricultural Policy (CAP): key role of innovation in sustainable agriculture and rural development. • 3 dimensions of sustainability (economic, environmental, social) WorkshoponDevelopingKnowledge-SharingPartnershipsin Europe and CentralAsia 4-6 December 2013 Budapest-Gödöllő, Hungary

  6. EU rural development priorities WorkshoponDevelopingKnowledge-SharingPartnershipsin Europe and CentralAsia 4-6 December 2013 Budapest-Gödöllő, Hungary 1) fostering knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry, and rural areas – „Cross-cutting” (2) enhancing competitiveness and farm viability (3) promoting food and non-food chain organisation and risk management (4) restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems related to agriculture and forestry (5) promoting resource efficiency and supporting the shift towards a low carbon and climate resilient economy in agriculture, food and forestry sectors (6) promoting social inclusion, poverty reduction and economic development in rural areas

  7. How to enhance innovation in agriculture and rural development? • Setting up ”operational groups” to bring together innovation actors (farmers, researchers, advisors, environmental groups, consumer interests groups or other NGOs) to advance innovation in the agricultural sector. • Combining the setting up of operational groups with project funding (investments, knowledge transfer, advisory services). • Establishing ”innovation brokers” • Functioning of EIP network WorkshoponDevelopingKnowledge-SharingPartnershipsin Europe and CentralAsia 4-6 December 2013 Budapest-Gödöllő, Hungary

  8. European Innovation Partnership (EIP) • Collecting information (research and innovation projects etc.), • effective flow of information (website, helpdesk function), • exchange on overall innovation topics (seminars, workshops), • sharing knowledge on concrete practical work (focus groups), • systematic feedback about practice needs.
