Workshop 1: Developing common protocols for AnaEE

• Rachel Burns (AnaEE-ERIC)

Adapting Best Practices for Measurement Standardization, Protocols, and Collaborative Infrastructures ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Purpose:** This workshop aims to bring together Facility Managers (FMs) across the AnaEE network to collaboratively develop shared protocols for key research domains. It serves a dual purpose: advancing technical alignment across facilities and strengthening the FM community through structured relationship-building and peer exchange. **Format:** The workshop intends to have active participation from FMs. FMs will be pre-clustered into working groups (this is a process we have already started), each led by a facilitator and supported by a note-taker. Groups will write on A0 sheets of paper, with questions to steer the discussions and ensure productive outputs. This FM networking session will encourage cross-facility connections. - Lead: Rachel co. Nanna Heinz, Klaus Steenberg Larsen

Workshop 3: Transnational Access in Action: Supporting Agroecology and Climate Change Adaptation Research

• Roland Pieruschka (PHENET/Microbes4Climate)

**Objectives:** Showcase the real impact of Transnational Access on research in agroecology and climate change adaptation. Give voice to researchers who have directly benefited from TNA in both projects. Attract new applicants to AgroServ and Microbes4Climate. Foster connections between the plant science, agroecology and soil microbiome research communities. Demonstrate the complementarity of AgroServ and M4C in addressing climate challenges. **Target audience:** - Researchers in plant science, agroecology, soil science and microbiology - Potential future TNA applicants across and Beyond Europe - Research infrastructure managers and stakeholders - Science policy makers and funders Chaired by: **Heba Sophia Ibrahim** and **Roland Pieruschka** - [AgroServ][1] - [Microbes4Climate][2] [1]: https://agroserv.eu/ [2]: https://microbes4climate.eu/?doing_wp_cron=1778153694.2506740093231201171875

Workshop 4: Translating Ecosystem Research into Policy

• Janko Arsić (AnaEE-ERIC)

Enhancing Resilience in Mediterranean Forests through Nature-based Solutions (NbS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Purpose:** This workshop aims to strengthen the interface between ecosystem research and policy development by bringing together researchers, policymakers, forest managers, and regional stakeholders working on Mediterranean forest resilience. Discussions will focus on identifying 2–3 concrete policy-relevant priorities related to Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and climate adaptation that AnaEE-ERIC could support through coordinated research, infrastructure services, or stakeholder collaboration in the coming years. **Format:** The workshop will be organised as an interactive multi-stakeholder exchange involving participants from across the Mediterranean region, including representatives from research institutions, national and regional forest authorities, environmental agencies, NGOs, local communities, and forest managers. Through moderated discussions and knowledge exchange, participants will identify shared regional challenges, research gaps, and opportunities to translate scientific knowledge into practical and policy-oriented actions for Mediterranean forest resilience. **Goal:** - Identify 2-3 concrete policy topics - Produce one concise policy brief (2-3 pages) - Prepare and distribute a targeted questionnaire to participants in advance to facilitate focused discussion and gather relevant input **Chaired by:** Janko Arsić, AnaEE-ERIC & Eloïse Leguérinel, Plan Bleu
