Set of 5 sample practice abstracts and associated materials to be downloaded in English onto the EIP-AGRI service point (First set of practice abstracts)

"In the end of the project, the scanning of the various case studies will lead to the identification and description of 100 grassland management practices, considered to be the most innovative according to the consortium. However, in M18 a set of 5 sample practice abstracts will be compiled. For these practices, an abstract will be prepared and associated materials (video clips, powerpoint presentation, sheets,…) will be produced. In this deliverable, they will be produced in English to be downloaded in English onto the EIP-Agri service point. The resulting innovative knowledge and easy accessible end-user material from this project should feed into the EIP-AGRI website for broad dissemination. The end-user material to be produced contains a substantial number of outcomes/recommendations for practitioners in the EIP common format. This includes the characteristics of the project (in particular e.g. contact details of partners, etc) and"" practice abstracts"". A full package of practice abstracts is needed for the project, containing all the outcomes/recommendations which are ready for practice. A ""practice abstract"" is a short summary of around 1000-1500 characters (word count – no spaces; see below) which describes a main information/recommendation/practice that can serve the end-users in their daily practice. The guidance and format (Excel) to be followed for these practice abstracts, as well as some explanatory text is available on the EIP-AGRI web site (http://ec.europa.eu/eip/agriculture/en/content/eip-agri-common-format). • Short summary for practitioners (1000-1500 characters, word count – no spaces). This summary should at least contain the following information: − Main results/outcomes of the activity (expected or final) − The main practical recommendation(s): what would be the main added value/benefit/opportunities to the end-user if the generated knowledge is implemented? How can the practitioner make use of the results? This summary should be presented as interesting as possible for farmers/end-users, using a direct and easy understandable language and pointing out entrepreneurial elements which are particularly relevant and attractive for practitioners (e.g. related to costs, application methods etc). Research oriented aspects or summaries of the project activities which do not help the understanding of the practice itself should be avoided. "
