The creation process – a participatory approach
Developing a ten-year program is no easy task. For this reason, Laimburg Research Centre undertook in a two-year-long process to include a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. The goal was to collect as much information as possible on the major challenges and topical issues facing South Tyrol’s agricultural and food sectors and then to determine which of those issues Laimburg Research Centre is capable of directly addressing.
In several workshops, the Centre’s coworkers identified the major challenges for the next ten years in their individual fields. Parallel to that, the Centre’s senior staff, representatives from the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and members of the Advisory Board and the Scientific Advisory Board zeroed in on possible topics with a view towards finding an overall strategic approach for the Centre and identifying major international trends.
