SMARTAgriFor consists of a one-year project aimed to develop an extensive, detailed and robust business plan for the setup of a Centre of Excellence in agriculture and forestry.

The current project is aligned with SMARTAgriFor and proposes a number of relevant actions to support the development of SMARTAgriFor and the full involvement of Northern stakeholders in the project, for the benefit of the stakeholders and the envisioned Centre.

The project “Promoting Agri-food and Forestry Stakeholder Engagement for Knowledge Transfer and SMARTAgriFor partnerships” was implemented by the four SMARTAgriFor universities from the North of Portugal: Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP), Universidade do Porto (UP) and Universidade do Minho (UM). The main objective of the project is to promote, through a series of initiatives, agri-food and forestry based stakeholder engagement, with the aim of identifying R&D needs across multiple value chains, to transfer knowledge onto stakeholders and to establish strategic partnerships for the benefit of stakeholders and SMARTAgriFor. The project includes a total of five actions, which are aligned with the five specific project objectives. Furthermore, each action consists of different activities that support the development of the project.
