To improve information and exploitation of results of the research in agricultural economics 5. To contribute to defining future support activities for agricultural economic research The project will commence by compiling a register of expertise. A detailed database and a web portal will then be developed. Expert groups will be constituted to favour the networking of research organisations in the area of agricultural economics. Three kinds of activities will start after these phases: - Reports, workshops and community work place (forum) will be developed to enhance interactivity between researchers and policy makers - Scientific inputs will be provided to the EC (6-monthly report) - Dissemination activities will be performed (newsletter, mail shot).
