The European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability provides a new approach to agricultural innovation. It creates a working interface between agriculture, bio-economy, science, advisors, environmental groups, consumers, and other stakeholders at EU, national and regional level. The EIP will also help to bring innovative research results faster from science to practice, to encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience, and to ensure a systematic feedback about needs from practice to the scientific community.

The aim of this conference is to tap into the collective knowledge of the stakeholder and research communities. It will provide a forum for a genuine brainstorming on the challenges and opportunities to be addressed by the EIP.

The conference will inter alia bring together:

• Agricultural stakeholders, European and national farmers' organisations
• Representatives of Member States
• Researchers and academics
• Environmental NGOs and Civil Society organisations
• Representatives of on-going initiatives within the research framework
• Advisors and innovation brokers
