Challenges faced by agriculture and rural areas and the long-term character of research activities call for a strategic approach to research and innovation. European Commission organises a large conference to discuss how such a strategic approach could be implemented.

The objectives of the conference will be to:

• present the main elements of a long-term strategy for EU agricultural research and innovation;
• discuss its content, in particular several dimensions of the manner it could be implemented.

The conference is targeted at an audience of around 400 participants including scientists (agriculture, food and rural research mainly) as well as relevant science networks (ETPs, JPIs, ERAnets…), stakeholders (farmers, up and downstream industries and retailers, civil society organisations, European organisations), International organisations (FAO, OECD, CGIAR) and authorities (Member states and main partner third countries).
