The meeting, held on September 29 and 30, 2026, in the Austrian capital, allowed partner entities to review the work developed and address the planning of the project's upcoming activities.
The agenda included a review of actions from the 2025-2026 period, the development of the ATTRACTISS network, and connections with other European projects and networks. It also covered policy recommendations to foster the participation of less represented actors in innovation processes, the dynamization of the project forum, and the collection of case studies.
Training and knowledge transfer tools also held a prominent place, with sessions dedicated to the DIY laboratories framework, preparation of masterclasses, and the creation of practical summaries aimed at facilitating the dissemination and application of results. Furthermore, joint work was conducted on a roadmap for 2026-2027 and the coordination of webinars.
ceiA3's participation is part of its role in connecting the scientific field with the agri-food sector, aiming to improve support for innovative initiatives and facilitate knowledge transfer.
The ATTRACTISS project —AcTivate and TRigger ACTors to deepen the function of Innovation Support Services— is a six-year initiative funded by Horizon Europe. It brings together 17 partners from 13 European countries with the goal of strengthening innovation support services and their role within Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS).
