Quel était le défi/problème abordé?

The main challenge is to contribute to reinforce the AKIS governance of Spain. The Spanish Ministry of Agriculture is working to implement an AKIS Coordination Body and we will use this CoP as a steering committee in an informal way within the framework of the ModernAKIS project.

Coordinating AKIS policies is useful to avoid duplication, improve innovation, promote digitalization, give a practical approach to science and adapt training to farmers and foresters. de plus, there are members of the associations of agricultural and forestry producers and also agri-food cooperatives in the National CoP, they can convey the main needs of farmers to the level of policymakers.

et enfin, this National CoP is a real think tank and influencer of AKIS policies and the main activities of the new Spanish AKIS Coordination Body.

Comment as-tu résolu le problème?

Just following the following steps:
– Looking for similar AKIS experiences in the past. For instance, in Spain there was an AKIS Focus Group created in 2019.
– Defining the purpose of the Spanish National CoP.
– Making a list of potential members of the CoP.
– Selecting members based on their background, expertise, the CoP targets, Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une solution technologique et méthodologique, motivation, etc.
– Inviting the person instead of the organization.
– et enfin, starting meetings with a suitable agenda.

Quels sont les facteurs de succès pour résoudre le problème?

They are working groups that have worked in the past, even if they had a different focus.
There is great diversity among the members of the CoP: From different regions, different sectors, the university, agro-technological sector, agricultural and forestry producers, agri-food industry, environmentalists, formation, innovation, etc.
The Ministry of Agriculture has experience managing and coordinating groups similar to the CoP.
The ModernAKIS project framework is a good model to compare with other Member States.
et enfin, all the CoP members will be able to obtain learned lessons.

Échecs inattendus, si seulement

Managing the expectations of CoP members.
Some members have not participated as expected of them.
Online meetings probably are not good enough to maximize outputs.

Leçons apprises

National CoP members want meetings that encourage interactive innovation.
Tools are being sought to better manage information and reach the sector.
The aim is to strengthen advisory services by facilitating the digital transition.

Quel rôle joue le conseiller ou le service de conseil dans le cas pratique?

Some of the advisory service representatives at the CoP are members of EUFRAS and share their experience with the rest of the CoP membership. Others prefer to promote a facilitation mechanism for the use of public funds in technological developments.
There are also proposals of the creation of an AKIS cooperation network at national level.

Votre approche peut-elle être transférée et/ou adaptée à d'autres défis d'innovation et régions?

Oui.
