Towards a safe and just operating
space for EU agriculture

2nd BrightSpace Stakeholder Retreat, 23–24 September 2025

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.
