As we head into the final year of VISIONARY, you can look forward to seeing exciting project results and publications featured more often in this newsletter. We’re kicking things off with a recent publication from our project partner, the University of Copenhagen, on agent-based modelling of food systems.

Since knowledge exchange and networking are such important parts of VISIONARY, we invite you to join our upcoming cross-country visit to Hungary. There are only a few more in-person events left — don’t miss your chance to be part of it!
|
In this edition, we’re also shining a spotlight on our Polish partners, who are featured in both our "Introducing..." series and as the "SPI of the Month".

We hope you enjoy the read.
