FACCE-JPI 10 Year Event
FACCE-JPI celebrates its ten-year anniversary with a high-level science-policy discussion on 26 & 27 November 2020.
Building on its 10 years’ experience and results, the Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI) engages policy makers, stakeholders and researchers to debate on new paths to assure food production, set scientific priorities and define knowledge-based policies in the celebratory event “A world in transition: Journey towards a sustainable future”.
This gathering, to be hold virtually, aims to display unexplored pathways and to establish priorities for a needed social debate, European future research and innovation actions, and policymaking.
Two days and three sessions for a sustainable world
Scientists, Member States and European Commission policy makers, and other stakeholders will exchange their knowledge and views for a constructive debate.
The first session on 26 November consists of a EURACTIV Virtual Conference sponsored by FACCE-JPI. The discussion will deal with the way to change the European food system taking into account elements such as the European resources, resilience, production, consumption, consumer choices and geographical balance.
The second and third session will be on 27 November and are organised by FACCE-JPI. The second session focuses on the science and impact resulting from the research done under the auspices of FACCE-JPI and travels into the future with the presentation of the new FACCE-JPI Strategic Research Agenda, made public in conjunction with the event. The third session concentrates on the path from science to policy and the need for a reinforced European Research Area (ERA) to support knowledge-based decision-making.
