How it works

As a central component of the LIFE DIMITRA project, the Knowledge Exchange Multi-Stakeholders Platform (KESP) is designed to foster effective communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among key stakeholders involved in digestate valorisation and sustainable agriculture.

Purpose and Objectives

Disseminate project results and outputs to relevant target groups.
Facilitate extensive knowledge exchange among stakeholders including farmers, researchers, industry representatives, policymakers, and public bodies.
Promote consultation, networking, and the creation of synergies within the bioeconomy and agri-food sectors.
Support the wider replication and market adoption of digestate-based fertilisation solutions.

Key Features and Structure

User Profile Section: Enables users to create personalized accounts, define their stakeholder category, and customize their experience based on interests and roles (e.g., farmer, policymaker, academic, industry).
Library: Acts as a repository of project documents, scientific publications, technical guidelines, policy briefs, and educational materials, offering easy access to all relevant resources.
Forum: A moderated discussion space where stakeholders can exchange insights, ask questions, and initiate collaborative dialogue on digestate management, circular agriculture, policy, and market issues.
News & Events: Keeps users updated on project milestones, relevant EU and national events, stakeholder meetings, workshops, and training activities.
Feedback Form: Allows users to provide suggestions, report issues, and contribute to the platform’s continuous improvement.

Impact and Legacy

KESP not only supports the real-time execution of the project but also serves as a long-term digital asset for continued collaboration beyond the project’s lifespan. It strengthens stakeholder networks, accelerates innovation diffusion, and ensures that project outcomes contribute meaningfully to climate-friendly agricultural transitions across Europe.
