EU AgRI 2040 Conference in Brussels

Registrations are now open for the EU AgRI 2040 Conference: “Future-proofing EU Agri-Food through research and innovation”, taking place on 24–25 September 2026 in Brussels.

This two-day event will provide a platform for reflection, exchange and co-creation among key stakeholders on priorities for future agriculture, forestry and rural research and innovation (R&I). The overall aim is to help deliver the ambitions of the Vision for Agriculture and Food through the next EU Research and Innovation Programme 2028-2034 (FP10) and the future European Competitiveness Fund (ECF).

A broad spectrum of actors from the agri-food and R&I ecosystem is expected, including policymakers, research organisations, funders, scientists, industry representatives, farmers, SMEs, start-ups, advisors, knowledge brokers and NGOs.
