Center for Innovation and Business Development

Project aim: The overall objective of NEFERTITI is to establish an EU-wide highly connected network of demonstration and pilot farms designed to enhance knowledge exchanges, cross fertilization among actors and efficient innovation uptake in the farming sector through peer-to-peer demonstration of techniques on 10 major agricultural challenges in Europe.
&nbsp;
About the project: NEFERTITI focuses on creating added value from the exchange of knowledge, actors, farmers and technical content over the networks in order to boost innovation uptake, to improve peer to peer learning and network connectivity between farms actors across Europe, thus contributing to a more competitive, sustainable and climate-smart agriculture. NEFERTITI address 10 themes that have been chosen based on key concerns of the farming communities of the regional hubs in the project, covering together a balanced range of themes over three main agricultural sectors: animal production, arable farming and horticultural production. The themes have also been chosen regarding their innovation potential, their demonstration potential and the cross-fertilization potential among the themes, the sectors and the actors. Themes are closely linked to the H2020 Thematic Networks and will connect with other organizational structures at grass root level, like EIP operational groups and study clubs that will confer to the project a key role of accelerator and empowerment of the dissemination and of the uptake of the practical-oriented knowledge delivered by all EIP related projects. A monitoring and learning program supports the systematic extraction of lessons learnt, lessons to be shared with wide audiences including AKIS actors and public authorities. A web based platform unlocks the experience, actors, demo details and the related content for wide spread sharing, enhanced by dedicated production of relevant material (including high-quality professional videos) in each language of the partners. NEFERTITI will engage a policy dialogue with EU Regions to match farmers and policy makers’ interests in view of the networks sustainability.

NEFERTITI- Networking European Farms to Enhance Cross Fertilisation and Innovation Uptake through Demonstration

Centar za inovacije i razvoj poslovanja

Cilj projekta: Glavni cilj NEFERTITI mreže je uspostavljanje EU mreže povezanih demonstracionih i pilot farmi koje će podstaći razmenu znanja među učesnicima, kao i efikasnije prihvatanje inovacija u poljoprivredi kroz učenje među kolegama vezanim za 10 ključnih poljoprivrednih pitanja u Evropi.
&nbsp;
O projektu: NEFERTITI se fokusira na stvaranje dodatne vrednosti razmenom znanja, aktera, poljoprivrednika i tehničkog sadržaja preko mreža kako bi se pospešilo uvođenje inovacija, poboljšalo učenje među kolegama i ojačala mrežna povezanost između farmi širom Evrope, doprinoseći tako konkurentnijoj, održivoj i klimatski pametnoj poljoprivredi. NEFERTITI se fokusira na 10 tema koje su odabrane na osnovu ključnih briga poljoprivrednih zajednica u regionalnim hubovima u projektu, pokrivajući zajedno uravnotežen spektar tema u tri glavna poljoprivredna sektora: stočarstvo, ratarstvo i hortikultura. Teme su takođe odabrane uzimajući u obzir njihov inovacioni potencijal, njihov demonstracijski potencijal i potencijal unakrsnog ukrštanja među temama, sektorima i akterima. Teme su usko povezane sa Tematskim mrežama H2020 i povezaće se sa drugim organizacionim strukturama na osnovnom nivou, poput operativnih grupa EIP-a i studijskih grupa koje će projektu dodeliti ključnu ulogu akceleratora i osnaživanja širenja i preuzimanja praktično orijentisanog znanja koje pružaju svi projekti povezani sa EIP-om. Program praćenja i učenja podržava sistematsko izdvajanje naučenih lekcija, lekcija koje će se deliti sa širokom publikom, uključujući aktere AKIS-a i javne vlasti. Internet platforma će otključati iskustvo, aktere, demonstracijske detalje i srodni sadržaj za široko rasprostranjeno deljenje koje će biti poboljšano namenskom proizvodnjom relevantnog materijala (uključujući visokokvalitetne profesionalne video zapise) na svakom jeziku partnera. NEFERTITI će se uključiti u politički dijalog sa regionima EU kako bi se isti podudarao sa interesima poljoprivrednika i kreatora politike uzimajući u obzir održivost mreža.
