About CRA-W (BE)

The Walloon Agricultural Research Center brings together scientific research, service and support functions in support of Walloon farmers, stockbreeders, horticulturists, forestry producers and operators in the agri-food sector.

About the project

The EU Bee Partnership (EUBP) Platform is a new milestone in efforts to improve the sharing of harmonised and standardised data on pollinators. It builds on existing features of the EUBP Prototype Platform, to centralise existing information related to bee health and to further develop its features and content. The new platform, financed by EFSA will be fully operational by 2024. It will include automatic translation, making it a useful tool for a diverse range of practitioners.

*The workshop will be recorded for project reporting purposes.
