curricula. To organize lectures for university students and researchers. To develop “innovation content” of the communications activities. Organization of two info-days.

WP3 – Analysis of policies and strategies for food innovationTo map, analyse and benchmark the existing policies, plans and initiatives relevant to Food innovation at a regional and /or national level. To identify key R&D players and technology needs assessment for Food SMEs. To perform SWOT analysis for food innovation. To prepare recomendations and suggestions for the formulation of relevant food innovation policies.

WP4 – Setting up mechanism for boosting food innovationTo develop a network of stakeholders and decision makers to be involved in the formulation of policies and building of appropriate mechanism for food innovation. To develop a comprehensive study for the definition of ideas for potential investments that will boost food innovation in the SEE area. To set up a monitoring mechanism that will follow and support food innovation on a permanent basis.

WP5 – Networking, training and exchange of experience in food innovation.To organize a workshop on food innovation and RTD cooperation financing. To host research personnel for training on topic relevant to financing. To host research personnel for training on topic relevant to food innovation.
