The first publication in Poland presenting, in the form of a catalogue, the activities of Operational Groups constituting the essential part of the European Innovation Partnership ("EIP") for efficient and sustainable agriculture.

These multi-actor partnerships successfully conduct research and implementation projects under Measure 16 "Cooperation", covered by the Rural Development Programme for 2014-2020.

In the period of 2017-2022, 6 calls for Operational Groups were made, including 4 calls dedicated to research and implementation projects and 2 thematic calls for the development of Short Food Chains. To date, over 368 Operational Groups have been established (including 106 research and implementation projects and about 203 SFC projects) with over 900 prepared and submitted applications for assistance. The number of projects will increase even more, as the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture is at the final stage of evaluating applications from the last call and, at the beginning of 2023, it will announce their ranking list and sign tens of new contracts.
