As the AgriDataValue project advances through its dissemination phase under Work Package 6 \u2014 Dissemination, Exploitation, Communication and Clustering<\/strong>, the Romanian Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture (APIA, apia.org.ro<\/a>) has worked to ensure that the project’s message reaches the audiences who matter most: the farmers who will ultimately use these tools, and the decision-makers who shape the policy environment around them. This contribution reports on two complementary outreach streams carried out by APIA between October 2025 and April 2026: a peer-to-peer presentation at the 65th Panta Rhei Conference of EU Paying Agencies in Dublin, and the broad national visibility achieved through the AGRI4FUTURE Romania \u2014 Objective 2035 campaign run by the Romanian Farmers Club for Performant Agriculture (CFRAP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Panta Rhei Conference<\/strong> is the most established professional forum of the EU Paying Agencies. Organised twice a year \u2014 in spring and autumn \u2014 under the umbrella of the Conference of Directors of EU Paying Agencies, it brings together the heads and senior staff of all national agencies responsible for implementing the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), as well as representatives of candidate countries and of the European Commission. The 65th edition, hosted in Dublin from 28 to 30 April 2026, gathered approximately 100 delegates representing every EU Member State, with an agenda dedicated to data interoperability, performance reporting, the use of artificial intelligence in CAP administration and the evaluation of payment claims, modern field-data collection practices, and cybersecurity in the face of rapidly evolving technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APIA was represented by a delegation led by Ms. Raluca D\u0103minescu<\/strong>, Director of the Methodology, Monitoring, Reporting and Institutional Relations Directorate, and Mr. Codrin Nicolau<\/strong>, Senior Advisor within the Institutional Relations Service. The delegation delivered a dedicated presentation on the AgriDataValue project<\/strong> \u2014 its objectives, architecture, and the role of the Agri-Environment Data Space (ADS) as a federated, standards-based building block for smart agriculture and environmental monitoring across the EU. The presentation positioned AgriDataValue in the same conversation as the conference’s flagship topics: the modernisation of BISS, the internalisation of the Area Monitoring System (AMS), the migration of core CAP IT platforms to modern infrastructures, and the integration of generative AI in paying-agency operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation was complemented by a set of printed dissemination materials \u2014 100 personalised A5 leaflets and a project roll-up<\/strong>, funded from the AgriDataValue project budget \u2014 distributed at the Romanian delegation’s position during the conference and during the networking sessions. The combination of a plenary presentation and printed materials allowed APIA to reach the conference audience in a structured way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
