SUMMARY:59th IALB Conference & 9th EUFRAS Conference & 11th GFRAS Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION: \nSave the date from October 5th to 6th 2020\, the event will take place in an online format within the topic «Preparing advisers for the digital era» \nIn order to meet the opportunities and challenges that digitization comes along with for the agriculture and forestry sector\, agricultural\, rural advisory\, and education services are particularly called for. It is therefore essential to actively and comprehensively address the cross-cutting issue of digitization in advisory work. This is\, on the one hand\, to provide farmers and foresters with an offer that enables them to achieve the best possible results under a sustainably successful use of the digital and technological possibilities\, and on the other hand to tackle the challenges and tap the potential digitization offers for knowledge transfer activities – like advisory work itself. \nBuilding on the experience of previous GFRAS\, IALB and EUFRAS events and activities and on the expertise\, knowledge\, and experiences of experts all over the world\, the three objectives of the 2020 conference are:\n–    How can rural Advisors become the farmers’ ‘digital partner’ in order to maximize the AKIS digital benefit for both;\n–    How can advisors share experience\, insights and motivations in order to leverage the digitisation among the wider AKIS;\n–    Can digitisation create greater flexibility and capacity of working for rural advisors while not leaving farmers behind. \nMeeting Structure & Program \nOrganized as a global online live-event\, the conference will provide a shared opening and closing session for all participants. In the 24 hours between the opening and closing\, parallel workshops and regional sessions will take place. \nThe conference will be a participatory learning event with a range of different types of sessions\, including keynotes\, panels\, presentations in plenary\, group work in parallel workshops and virtual field trips. Despite the implementation as an online event\, participants will be given a range of opportunities to provide inputs. \nIn order to meet the conference objectives\, three keynote speakers will provide their reflections on this year’s thematic focus: \n– What are our client’s future needs and how we reach them by Andrejs Vasiļjevs\, Tilde\, Latvia \n– Embracing digital engagement in a post-COVID-19 environment by John James\, Enablers of Change\, Australia \n– Globalization of the digital advisory solutions by Tom Kelly\, TEAGASC\, IrelandTom Kelly\, TEAGASC\, Ireland \nSEE THE WHOLE CONFERENCE PROGRAM \nParticipation and registration \nOnline registration is open till the 21th of September in the REGISTRATION SITE.
