At the beginning of the EU-funded BioReCer project, a series of interviews were conducted with various consortium members to explain the aims and key elements of the project.
Towards the end of the project, it was decided to use the same communication approach, but in a non self-referential way, by conducting a series of interviews with external stakeholders — selected from the members of the BioResources Stakeholders Platform — able to highlight, from the perspective of qualified stakeholders, the added value of the project.
The concept idea and the rationale of this campaign were presented, discussed, and approved on the occasion of the Biorecer 3rd coordination meeting – carried out in Milan (Italy) from 1 to 3 October, 2024. For more details, click here.
This campaign is part of the communication activities carried out by Cittadinanzattiva/Active Citizenship Network (ACN) in the context of the EU-funded project BioReCer (Biological Resources Certifications Schemes) with the support of Innovation News Network - since 2020, ACN’s official media partner - and its quarterly publication “The Innovation Platform”.
