AgroTransilvania Cluster regularly organises communication and dissemination activities related to EU agricultural, innovation, and rural development policies. These include conferences, workshops, and stakeholder meetings focused on topics such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), agricultural innovation, sustainability, and digitalisation in the agri-food sector. The cluster also participates in European projects (Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, LIFE), where it coordinates communication campaigns, publishes policy briefs, practice abstracts, and technical publications, and organises knowledge-transfer events for farmers, SMEs, researchers, and policymakers. In addition, AgroTransilvania Cluster actively contributes to EU policy dialogue through participation in national and regional monitoring committees related to the CAP Strategic Plan and regional development programmes, ensuring that EU policy priorities are communicated and discussed with stakeholders at regional and national level.
