EUREKA was an EU-funded action that aimed to help ensure the longer-term and wider use by farmers, foresters and other rural businesses of the practical knowledge and innovative solutions that are generated by Horizon 2020 multi-actor projects.
EUREKA is the sister project of EURAKNOS.
THIS IS THE EU FARMBOOK
Follow-up project will support knowledge exchange between all AKIS actors in EU
A new project under Horizon Europe, named ‘EU FarmBook’, will build upon the two previous projects EURAKNOS and EUREKA. The ‘EU FarmBook’ will further strengthen the platform by continuing to construct and refine a fully functional user-friendly digital knowledge reservoir that is effectively integrated through networking and cooperation activities with all key actors in EU and national level AKISs, including the newly established post-2020 national AKIS Coordination Bodies, national CAP Networks and EU-level EIP-AGRI Support Facility.
In the new project, the project partners and developers will continue to improve user-friendliness, development of search functions, division of categories, properly handling of the Community and Expert sections, and last but probably most importantly will ensure corporation and connection with other databases, increasing the amount of high-quality knowledge objects of the EU FarmBook platform.
We have analyzed the supply of knowledge from multi-actor projects, as well as the profile of the users of this knowledge, to make recommendations for the better sharing of Horizon 2020 research outputs.
We have actively engaged with the multi-actor project community to select the most relevant and high impact knowledge and innovation for meeting the practical needs of farmers, foresters and other rural businesses.
We are building the EU FarmBook to present this knowledge and innovation in an accessible, easily searchable and open source e-platform that is available long-term to a broad range of relevant users.
In order to test the feasibility of developing an EU-level online knowledge reservoir - the EUREKA team created end-user personas and journeys to help understand the requirements of farmers, foresters and advisors across the EU.
