Workshop nº 01 - How do I establish innovation consulting in my region?

Language: Deutsch / Spanish

How do I establish innovation consulting in my region?

Strategy development for advisors based on the example of InnoTour Bavaria

 

In order to respond to the current and future demands in agriculture, extension services, also prompted by the new CAP, are increasingly relying on innovation consulting, networking, the multi-actor principle, transdisciplinarity, knowledge exchange and co-creation in AKIS. These are fine-sounding terms. But what does this mean in concrete terms for the role of the advisors and their mission? How can an innovation consultancy be successfully established? Do the counsellors, as professionals for change processes, create this change that affects them?

The idea of the InnoTour was born in Bavaria out of the realisation of the need for stronger networking and in order to bring the multi-actor approach into focus, which is introduced here as an idea and starting point for this workshop. In Bavaria, it was possible to draw on experiences from the EU projects AgriSpin (cross-visit principle of learning from each other) and i2connect.

As an introduction, the example of InnoTour Bavaria is presented and terms of innovation consulting are clarified. Afterwards, the workshop participants will work in groups to develop strategies for the introduction and establishment of innovation consulting concepts in their respective regions.
The workshop is bilingual German - Spanish.
