Oper8 is a sister project of VTskills. It is a Horizon 2021 project that aims to enhance knowledge and understanding of alternative weed control. The Oper8 project involves 8 operational groups from 7 European countries, working or having worked on the development of alternative weed control solutions.
The operational groups include farming organizations, technical institutes, and research centers. The project aims to generate a significant impact and enhance the sustainability of the European agricultural sector. The 7 partner countries are located in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Northern regions, representing a range of production systems. The project focuses on identifying and understanding the issues and challenges of alternative weeding practices, fostering a strong European network around this topic, promoting dissemination and knowledge transfer activities, and producing several types of materials:
- Newsletter
- Demonstration Videos
- Podcasts
- Factsheet
The information are collected in a “Knowledge Bank”, a repository in which all the in-depth information, insightful updates, image collection, videos, and more are stored
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe program under grant agreement No. 101060591
