Regulatory frameworks

The regulatory framework is studied to make sure that the strategy can be implemented locally. 

To ensure that the results of the project will continue to be used after its completion, its sustainability will be sought through the:

  • implementation of an exploitation plan;
  • creation of a project governance; 
  • research of alternative sources of funding.

This database aims at preparing the roll-out of project deliverables at national and regional levels with the relevant governmental and sectoral authorities.

The Regulatory Framework deliverable intends to collect existing information on specific legislation for training, as well as other legislation that will be considered relevant to the main areas of impact of the project (sustainability, digitalization and the bioeconomy in agriculture), taking into account the foreseeable future needs for skills in these areas. 

A database for the Regulatory Frameworks was created in the FIELDS platform

Dissemination and Newsletters

Dissemination aims to ensure to reach the largest possible target audience while advertising the project results

Communication and dissemination campaigns will be developed and implemented to ensure broad awareness rising of the project outcomes to the target groups, some of the actions to take are here described:

First issue of FIELDS newsletter summarizing the project and highlighting the focus groups results – September 2020

The 2nd issue is focussed on FIELDS participation in forums and meetings, highlighting the commitment in the Pact for Skills.
