ACTION E.6. NETWORKING

The purpose of this action is to establish communication networks with other LIFE projects that address a topic related to LIFE Agromitiga and have the potential to produce synergies. In particular, the aim is to interact with those initiatives whose scope of study is the search for climate change mitigation strategies in the agricultural sector, without forgetting those projects that address mechanisms for crop adaptation to the effects of global warming in this sector.

To date, contacts have been established with 10 projects, which can be consulted in the networking section of the website. These contacts have served to strengthen ties, holding bilateral meetings with them, as well as inviting some of the technicians of these projects to the meetings that are being held within the framework of the governance action.
