agrifoodTEF – Test and Experiment Facilities for the Agri-Food Domain

Łukasiewicz Research Network - Poznan Institute of Technology is implementing the project Test and Experiment Facilities for the Agri-Food Domain / Development of Test and Experiment Centres for the Agri-Food Sector no. 101100622 /FENG.02.23-IP.01-0001/23-00
Acronym: agrifoodTEF
Type: R&D
Grant: PLN 11 276 701, including PLN 5 653 809,22 from NCBR
Total value: EUR 59 143 706,68 (of which EUR 2 395 730 for Łukasiewicz - PIT)
Start date: 01.01.2023
Project completion date: 31.12.2027
Expected project results:
The Project will result in building a network that will provide know-how and modern infrastructure for designing and implementing methodologies for AI testing and experimentation solutions in real-world conditions.
The project assumes the implementation of goals in six stages (Work Packages). The first 3 stages: (1. Physical infrastructure, 2. Digital infrastructure and 3. ELSA compliance testing and analysis infrastructure) concern directly the implementation of services.
Stages 4, 5 and 6 are intended to support the creation and implementation of services and to manage the quality of these services, create standards for their provision, build common service blocks, develop the ecosystem and market and coordinate these activities.
