Don't miss this stakeholder meeting on 30th August 2018!

Multi-disciplinary approaches for improving sustainable livestock production: research needs, opportunities and difficulties

During this session several speakers from both consortia will present their research, followed by presentations from stakeholders about innovations and expectations. Panel discussions will cover opportunities and difficulties of multi-disciplinary and multi-actor approach researches and user application needs.

Venue: 30th August 2018, 8:30-18:00, Hotel Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik, Room Olipa 4. In order to attend this session it is necessary to register for the EAAP conference.
