As you all know, the i2connect project aims at boosting interactive innovation in agriculture & forestry, by better understanding of AKIS organisation and functioning, and capacity-building for the various AKIS actors.
Our fourth and last Regional AKIS Stakeholders’ workshop will take place online, on Friday the 18th of October 2024, from 9:00 to 12:30 (CET).
