Europe
November 5, 2013

Some 40 participants from 11 different countries attended a seminar dedicated to the theoretical aspects of co-innovation as ENDURE partners, in collaboration with MTT of Finland, work towards a European workshop on co-innovation being held in Brussels on November 27 and 28.

The seminar, held at Wageningen UR in The Netherlands in October, included contributions on innovative design, learning, transition and the changing roles of the professionals who work in practice on innovation. The presentations can be consulted below.

The Brussels workshop will bring together those working on crop protection in practice, and will provide inspiration on how to deal with the challenges of a more participatory approach. Sixteen case studies will be presented and offer participants a wide portfolio of methods, instruments and approaches that can be used in co-innovation.

Both events are contributing to the European Innovation Partnership on 'Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability' to advance the implementation of Integrated Pest Management in agriculture and horticulture in the European Union.
