ARIMNet2 Lessons learnt & perspectives

• Acquisition of a trust and confidence between the FA • Acquisition of a common knowledge, procedures and skills for

launching trans-Mediterranean calls • Mobilisation of the scientific communities around the Med on

interdisciplinary projects that aim to combine high standard science and society

• Creation of scientific networks

• PERSPECTIVES • To continue to work together and to capitalize on our skills to

organize news calls and events at a bigger scale (art. 185 PRIMA) • To benefits from the AKIS conference to promote and to improve

knowledge transfer to the farming system, policy-makers and other stakeholders

• Improve dissemination of results • Participate to the Improvement of innovation in the Mediterranean
