Advisory networks – connecting advisors across the EU
Advisory networks are multi-actor projects that connect advisors across all EU Member States in a European network.
Advisory networks aim to:
- help advisors stay up to date with cutting-edge knowledge and innovation; and
- facilitate opportunities for them to exchange and share experiences on how to best tackle challenges or seize opportunities on farms, in forests, and in rural villages.
How to apply for funding for an advisory network?
Calls for advisory networks are recurrent in the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 work programmes under the destination ‘Innovative governance, environmental observations and digital solutions in support of the Green Deal’.
