Following two successful thematic seminars and the in-person inaugural retreat in June 2024, the BrightSpace project is proud to announce its 2nd Stakeholder Retreat, titled: “Looking into the Crystal Ball – Futures of EU Agriculture”
🗓️ 23–24 September 2025 (lunch-to-lunch format)
📍 Martin’s Klooster, Leuven, Belgium
This retreat brings together invited stakeholders for an immersive two-day exploration of EU agricultural futures.
Key discussion themes include:
- Updating the “Business as usual” baseline and developing a “Challenging baseline” scenario
- Incorporating stakeholder feedback from past events
- Examining the credibility and plausibility of alternative future pathways
- Presenting and refining transition storylines to envision how EU agriculture could unfold under different policy and innovation choices
This retreat is a co-creative forum where stakeholder insights directly shape policy-relevant modelling and narrative development.
