Organised by the Instytut Rozwoju Wsi i Rolnictwa Polskiej Akademii Nauk - IRWIR PAN, the European Rural Development Network (ERDN) and the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute (IUNG-PIB), with the support of the #Tools4CAP project, the symposium will bring together leading experts in agricultural and rural policy.

Discussions will explore how the proposed 2028–2034 Multiannual Financial Framework (#MFF) and National and Regional Partnership Plans (#NRPPs) could reshape the #governance, programming and delivery of EU support for #agriculture and rural areas.

🔹 Dr Jerzy Plewa, Team Europe and former Director-General of DG AGRI – Who will really decide on support for farmers and rural areas after 2027?
🔹 Prof. Erjavec Emil, University of Ljubljana – the NRPP through a CEEC lens.
🔹 Mr Radim Sršeň, European Committee of the Regions and Chair of the European Rural Pact Coordination Group – territorial cohesion, governance and the regional dimension.
🔹 Prof. Dimitris Skuras, University of Patras – lessons from Greece’s #CAP Strategic Plan for regional governance under the NRPP.
