BEATLES – which stands for “Behavioural Change Towards Climate-Smart Agriculture” – is a Horizon Europe project that began in July 2022, coordinated by the University of Athens, and bringing together 18 partners. BEATLES has set up five Use Cases in EU regions of Lithuania, Germany, Spain, Denmark and The Netherlands.
The BEATLES EU multi-actor working group is a pan-European group driving Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) initiatives, bridging science, society, and policy across Europe.
AEIDL (European Association for Innovation in Local Development) leads the work package on transition through policy recommendations and tools, and coordinates this EU group. We look for those most interested or involved in the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), from the point of view of Climate-Smart Agriculture, to have a primarily online space where we can have informal and open-ended discussions and exchange ideas about possible avenues to reinforce CSA practices in EU agriculture.
This first of a series of workshops is a key part of our BEATLES co-creation process, through which the leading research and policy findings we are producing can be assessed by experts and policy practitioners from outside the BEATLES project. This will help us examine how our results can be extrapolated to the EU level, and whether they may be turned into actionable policy recommendations. Aside from exploring project insights and recent outcomes, our agenda features captivating presentations from key voices, including DG AGRI’s policy perspectives unit, the Joint Research Center, and the EIP-AGRI.
At least four EU multi-actor working group workshops will be organised during the project planned to accompany the post-2027 EU policy cycle that will lead to the new CAP and other policies:
- 1st Workshop: extrapolation of first BEATLES results to the European level and co-design of immediate policy actions (23 May 2024)
- 2nd Workshop: design of policy recommendations linked to CSA for 2030 and 2040 (4th Quarter 2024)
- 3rd Workshop: validation and design of policy tools for CSA transition (1stQuarter 2025)
- 4th Workshop: discussion and validation of project behavioural knowledge and replicability of the generated approaches in the context of the group participants using the recommendations and the toolbox. (4th Quarter 2025)
All workshops will be online and in English
