After 3 years of work, INNOSETA Project has finished and achieved the envisioned targets. The main objective of INNOSETA was to set up an Innovative self-sustainable Thematic Network on Spraying Equipment, Training and Advising to contribute in closing the gap between the available novel high-end crop protection solutions -either commercial or from applicable research results- with the everyday European agricultural practices. We have now published a platform under the INNOSETA Project (INNOSETA Platform) with more than 1000 entries about innovative techniques, ongoing research and material that in many cases is already available for use by farmers in their fields. Further collaboration in this regard will be achieved by promoting effective exchange of novel ideas and information between research, industry, extension services and the farming community. However, the new policies coming in the near future under the Farm to Fork, Green Deal and Biodiversity Strategy must also take into account all the progress already made. This event is an opportunity to present the results that INNOSETA has obtained during the past 3 years and foster fruitful collaboration for the priority topics in future EU policy!

On the first day, aiming to “close the gap between research and farmers”, the event will focus on the technical aspects of the project and the practical, innovative outcomes in favour of the farming community. Following, during the second day, the event will highlight policy topics in order to “find opportunities for a greener European agriculture”. Special keynote speakers will participate representing the European Commission and key INNOSETA partners will guide participants through the findings and developments of the INNOSETA Thematic Network project!
