Why participate?
The second half of the webinar will introduce the six projects funded under Call 2 of Green ERA-Hub. This half-day session will provide a platform for presenting the objectives, approach, and expected impact of these new projects. There will also be an opportunity to reflect on and discuss collaboration between Call 1 and Call 2 projects.
The session consists of various components: a joint start with a review of Day 1; a substantive block comprising project presentations from the Call 2 projects; a keynote lecture; and an interactive session in which participants will discuss collaboration and synergies. There will be opportunities for questions, reflection, and the exchange of ideas during this session.
The format supports familiarisation with the new projects and encourages connections between researchers from both calls. Special attention will be paid to themes such as climate-smart agriculture, soil health, emission reduction and systems thinking.
