(1) transfer knowledge and apply research results in traditional foods in SMEs; (2) develop a strategic research and innovation agenda for traditional foods; and (3) foster entrepreneurship. |
| Kehittämistarve | The TRADEIT project is a multidisciplinary, multi-sectorial collaborative project supporting a Network of Traditional Food SMEs and Food Researchers in the areas of Collaboration, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Knowledge and Technology Transfer to increase the competitiveness and inter-regional advantage of Traditional Food Producing SMEs. This will be achieved through focused regional coordination and support activities and events facilitated by the establishment of 9 Regional Traditional Food Knowledge and Technology Transfer Hubs. Each Hub will host a TRADEIT stakeholder sub-network (defined by region, language and/or food group), the members of which will benefit from an suite of knowledge and technology offerings over the course of the project. Food researchers from across Europe will be provided with the opportunity to attend the TRADEIT Entrepreneurial Summer School in which an entrepreneurial skillset will be developed to facilitate future R&D&I Enterprise and Commercialisation activities. The regional focus of the project will be further developed in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda which will promote regional R&D&I for pan European benefit. The TRADEIT project aligns with and contributes to the goals and objective of a number of EU Initiatives, strategies and policies including Europe 2020 the Innovation Union Flagship Initiative, Horizon 2020, Cohesion Policy in particular Smart Specialisation Innovating for Sustainable Growth: a Bio-economy for Europe and Food Law Regulation. |

- To capture and transfer the learning gained through collaborative interactions internally within the network and externally to other stakeholders - To act as an Information and Activities Co-ordination Centre (IACC) for the project Development of Regional Traditional Food Knowledge and Technology Transfer Centers: - To develop the training program, module choices, and delivery options. - Knowledge transfer for sub-network local and regional groups of SMEs. - To evaluate the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer and improvement in skills. - To reconfigure the training program for a wider group of SMEs across the target sectors. - To implement selected knowledge transfer activities involving a wide group of SMEs. - To evaluate the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer and suitability for a large audience. - To create a series of training guidance packs for the traditional food sector and a directory of training program and options. - To develop a plan for the long term sustainability of the knowledge transfer program SAVONIA's In addition to the general tasks given the role of Savonia UAS is to transfer of knowledge to SMEs in the area of food product development. During the task given, we are use a user-oriented OIS-method (Open Innovation Space) in multi-professional networks and also actively learn in creative processes (doing-using-interacting). User-orientation means that it involves consumers' participation to innovation process directly (part of innovation team, experiments with consumers) or indirectly (consumer tests and observation of consumers). |
