Thematic Event 4 on smart soils - Virtual event
A Europe-wide discussion about the relationship, at the regional level, between the Smart Specialization Research and Innovation Strategies (RIS3) and the Mission Soil will be the focus of one of the NATI00NS thematic events. This event explicitly addresses two objectives of the EU Mission: A Soil Deal for Europe: reduce the EU global footprint on soils and improve soil literacy in society.
It will integrate policymakers, experts, technicians and citizens involved in regional policy-making and implementation of innovation programs with the following challenges: identify examples of connections that already exist/are foreseen/intuited between RIS3 and the Mission Soil objectives; discover the possibilities for the implementation of the strategies to solve soil troubles and conclude on policy good practices to guide the processes of orienting RIS3 towards the mission and vice versa.
Soil is the foundation of our food systems. It provides clean water and habitats for biodiversity while contributing to climate resilience. It supports our cultural heritage and landscapes and is the basis of our economy and prosperity. RIS3 are demonstrating from 2013 their utility at local level to foster transformative changes through innovation. The agenda can be viewed here.
This compelling fourth thematic event in a series of six European-wide events is conducted entirely online.
Join us on this exciting journey of exploration, knowledge sharing, and collaboration as we embark on a series of events dedicated to advancing the cause of sustainable soil management. Together, let’s build a foundation for a healthier and more resilient future!
