Documents, reports (5)

First set of practice abstracts

"The resulting innovative knowledge and easy accessible end-user material from this project will feed into the EIP-AGRI (The agricultural European Innovation Partnership) website for broad dissemination. The end-user material to be produced contains a substantial number of summaries for practitioners in the EIP common format (""practice abstracts""), including the characteristics of the project (e.g. contact details of partners, etc.). A full package of practice abstracts will be produced by the project, containing all the outcomes/recommendations which are ready for practice.A practice abstract is a short summary of around 1000-1500 characters (word count no spaces) which describes the main information/recommendation/practice that can serve the end-users in their daily practice. Guidance and templates for these practice abstracts are available on the EIP-AGRI web site:http://ec.europa.eu/eip/agriculture/en/content/eip-agri-common-format"

First intermediary report on communication and dissemination activities

Report on the implementation and assessment of communication and dissemination activities.

Generic framework for determining the economic burden of animal disease

A report describing the framework and its application to the pilot implementations

Status quo regarding psychological and social preconditions of the use of data tools

This report describes the preconditions of the use of data tools and highlights the most important barriers and drivers of technology adoption It will enable the other WPs to consider and incorporate the stakeholders viewpoint

Case-specific reports on potential of different data tools from WP3

This report describes the evaluation of various case-specific data tools. It will highlight difficulties and serve as a proof of concept for the data tools.
