Towards a safe and just operating
space for EU agriculture
We invite you to become an active member of the BrightSpace Stakeholder Community.
Your participation will not only help you to stay informed about the project’s progress but also enable you to take part in thematic seminars and stakeholder events where we try to take into account different perspectives as much as possible.
The endeavour to approach a safe and just operating space benefits from incorporating a variety of opinions and perspectives that will flow into an aggregation or that will be acknowledged in a side note.
We lay emphasis on transparent communication in order to let you know how and where your inputs make an impact, and if they could for example contribute to alterations in our modelling toolbox.
Throughout the project, we plan a series of interactive stakeholder activities to encourage dialogue, gather insights and refine our approaches and outputs. Every year, we hold an in-person stakeholder retreat, bringing together policymakers, modellers and experts from various sectors. These retreats serve as key events to review progress and present initial (modelling) results to a wider audience. To ensure continued engagement and transparency, we also hold online thematic seminars, which will allow stakeholders to provide feedback and adjust strategies where necessary.
The BrightSpace Stakeholder Community offers a unique platform for networking and exchanging knowledge and experience related to the future of EU agri-food policies and we want to make sure that you as a participating stakeholder feel appreciated in your contribution efforts.
As we aim to represent all interest groups who have a stake in EU agriculture as best as possible including farmers, consumers, civil society organisations and agri-businesses across the different member states, everyone who is affected in this field is equally welcome to join our stakeholder community and contribute with new perspectives.
