EU H2020 projects undergo annual reviews where the project officer and a panel of external experts assess progress based on reporting and a meeting where presentations are given and aspects of the project discussed. Yesterday, FRAMEwork had its concluding review meeting in its fifth and final year - the project officially ran autumn 2020 to autumn 2025.

We're pleased to share that this final review was positive, with many aspects being termed 'exceptional'. Significant successes with stakeholder engagement were recognised as well as efforts to achieve joined-up delivery. The consortium's response to the ambition and breadth of the project was praised.

Several recommendations for the close of the project were made, surrounding the completion of publications and scientific data processing and release. But that's not all that's happening in the next few months!

All consortium partners will continue to disseminate and communicate the experiences, results and recommendations of the project until 2030. Keep an eye out for the publication of a project Legacy Guide, bringing together an overview of the project and its outputs, as well as our legacy Substack and YouTube channels that will continue to release content through 2026. You will also see blogs continue here.

Thanks for joining us on this journey into the question of whether collective approaches like 'Farmer Clusters' can provide meaningful opportunities for European farming systems to better manage biodiversity and ecosystem services at a landscape scale.
