What is Smart AKIS all about?

Smart-AKIS is the thematic network focusing on the dissemination of Smart Farming Technologies (SFT) in Europe, backed up by EIP-AGRI and funded by Horizon 2020 programme. The Network is coordinated by the Agricultural University of Athens and involves other 12 partners representing farmers, agricultural advisors, researchers and the farm equipment industry.

Looking ahead: best practices for the future of EU’s agriculture

The conference will be the forum to highlight the main achievements from the 30 months of work within the Network. The programme is built around the following topics:

  • Testimonials on the use of Smart Farming Technologies in Europe,
  • Best practices on how farmers, research, industry and advisors engaged in farming innovative processes and
  • First time presentation of the Recommendations and Policy Briefs resulting from the reflection process carried out during the project.

Besides, the Conference will provide an overview on the current state of play and future trends of Smart Farming in European agriculture. Open exchanges with representatives from the European Commission and experts will be essential to tuning out recommendations for the upcoming programming period of CAP and other policies supporting the adoption of Smart Farming Technologies.

Who will attend?

The Smart-AKIS Conference will gather EU policy makers, agricultural practitioners, researchers, industry leaders interested in fostering the adoption of Smart Farming Technologies in Europe.
