The 3rd plenary meeting of the Horizon Europe Divine Project was successfully held in the beautiful city of Tallinn, Estonia.
Our dedicated partners united forces, making final preparations for the highly anticipated launch of the DIVINE pilots, which are aimed at demonstrating the value of agridata sharing.
Shout-out to our amazing host, Digiotouch OU, for their exceptional hospitality and support throughout the event!
Our project coordinator, Professor Ioanna Roussaki, represented Horizon Europe Divine Project at the 2023 EU AgriResearch Conference, which took place in Brussels on 31 May – 1 June. There, she had the chance to promote the work of DIVINE and initiate collaboration with other Horizon Europe projects, such as AgriDataSpaces.
The session on "Digital and Data technologies in agriculture: R&I for sectoral transformation" was of particular interest providing valuable insights into the main research and innovation needs and opportunities in the agriculture sector, as well as the respective barriers and challenges in place that need to be addressed. The implementation of a Common European Agricultural DataSpace is planned and DIVINE has already started preparing related outputs to support this initiative.
Representatives from Horizon Europe Divine Project attended WFO General Assembly 2023 in Sun City, South Africa and engaged with hundreds of farmers and other stakeholders in agriculture, mainly from the private sector and the media.
Throughout the WFOGA2023, we had the chance to showcase our DIVINE project's vision and preliminary results, demonstrating how data-driven approaches can significantly enhance farming outcomes and mitigate climate change.
