The projects will identify and characterise the organisers of on-farm demonstration activities in the designated countries (the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Romania, and Slovakia). Outputs will form components of a European-wide inventory of on-farm demonstration.

1. This specification sets out the terms of reference for the research project ‘National Inventories of Demonstration Farms’. The projects will identify and characterise the organisers of on-farm demonstration activities in the designated countries (the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Romania, and Slovakia). Outputs will form components of a European-wide inventory of on-farm demonstration.

— The purpose of the tenders in each country is thus to identify and compile information on a comprehensive range of organisers of agricultural demonstration activities. For these purposes, ‘demonstration activities’ range from one-off ‘field day’ events established by input suppliers; to multi-year ‘monitor farms’ where farmers, advisors and industry members come together at regular intervals to assess farming opportunities in situ; to permanent ‘research farms’ where researchers demonstrate cutting edge technologies and approaches. Increasingly, farmers themselves are opening up their farms for engagement with their peers and the general public as part of business development strategies (e.g. short food supply chains, community supported agriculture), using both traditional and new virtual ‘on-line’ methods.

— Successful tenders will enter data into an on-line database which has already been designed by the PLAID and AgriDemoF2F consortium members. Please note that the database has been designed for use by the public, but will not be publically available during the tender period. Successful tenderers are expected to complete both Part A and Part B of the associated questionnaire. Approximately half an hour per entry is expected. The on-line tool can be found here: https://agridemo.usc.es/index.php/388562

— The on-line database includes informed consent documentation to ensure that participants give explicit consent to collect and publish the data that is entered into the database. Please note that only data entered in response to Part A will be made publicly available; responses for Part B will be utilised for research purposes only, and presented to the public in aggregate form. The primary purpose of the database is to enable farmers and organisations involved in on-farm demonstration to contact each other and develop networking activities (e.g. to facilitate peer to peer learning across Europe). The database will also be utilised by researchers to characterise and compare on-farm demonstration activities across Europe.

Outputs should include:

— Translation of the inventory questions into the national language (except in the case of Germany, where a German translation will be made available)

— Inventory data for a comprehensive range of demonstration organisers in the specified country (at minimum, 30 farms or organisations in small countries, at least 80 farms or organisations in Germany). The anticipated number of entries in the database should be included in the tender, and will be used as a basis for assessing value for money.

— A 2 to 4 page national summary characterising the organisation of demonstration in the specified country.

— A poster summarising the characteristics of demonstration in the specified country. A template will be provided.

— An oral presentation of the research findings at a ‘supraregional’ meeting in one of Belgium, Italy, or Poland. The costs of attending these meetings should be included in the budget schedule for the tender.

— Circulation of the approved national summary to participating farms and organisations (e.g. by email).
