Title: ERIAFF Network


1
The ERIAFF Network European Regions for
Innovation in Agriculture, Food and Forestry
2
ERIAFF main objectives
To improve the performance of the EIP network
itself by acting as facilitators of information
flow and links between stakeholders across their
territories as well as across the European Union
To develop interregional Operational Groups which
are already linked by common priorities and goals
3
The ERIAFF Regions are committed to
Allocate a high level of resources on Rural
Development measures linked with innovative
actions, allowing the best take up from the work
of the Operational Groups
Select common innovation priorities and act as
promoters of close collaborations among their
Operational Groups and other Regional Stakeholders
Promote and support an European Research
Infrastructure for Sustainable Agriculture in a
Changing Environment (SACE), which was submitted
as a proposal during the European Commission
consultation of October 2012

ERIAFF requests
  • To be involved in the EIP Implementation Plan and
    in the process of priorities selection and
    activity deployment. Regions tend to have a deep
    involvement in different EIP tools (Focus Groups,
    Seminars, Experts, etc.).
  • Regions are also asking for strong support by the
    Commission in shaping simple and clear
    administrative and financial rules for maximising
    the expenditure in research and innovation by
    combining different funding sources (Structural,
    National and Regional Funds).
  • Non-technological and social innovations should
    be considered important aspects of the future
    actions of the EIP.

5
ERIAFF requests
  • EIP initiatives should take into account the
    different farm size across EU territories, that
    is, the farm size shouldnt be considered as the
    only indicator of quality.
  • Regions wishes to understand in practical terms
    the overall ability of the EIP to influence the
    future work programmes of the Research Framework
    Programme.
  • Which technical and financial rules the
    Commission intends to activate to translate into
    action the desired coordination/integration among
    Structural, Cohesion and Research funds through
    the integrated operations, as they are proposed
    by the Commission itself and confirmed by the EU
    Council on last 8 February.
