One of our key tasks in the VISIONARY project aims at contributing to the capacity building of early-career researchers (ECRs) (Task 6.5). The coordinator of this activity is HIGHCLERE CONSULTING (HCC). Our Cross Country Visit organised in Brașov, Romania, in May 2024, was the first activity focussing on ECR.

Starting in January 2025, we began the monthly online meetings with the ECRs involved in the VISIONARY project. The first meeting aimed at discussing the early-career researchers needs and co-developing the agenda for a series of 9 webinars: We will tackle topics related to food systems, EU policy framework and multi-stakeholder engagement. The second online meeting took place in February and the topic of discussion was the EU policy framework and the interconnections between EU and global agri-food policy frameworks.

We invite early-career researchers interested in these topics to join us in the next webinar, when we will take a deep dive into the food system and its main components and leverage points.
To attend the webinar, please contact Cătălina Rogozan or Raluca Barbu at HCC.
