Just for a giggle... is this too many post-its for putting organisational #impact data and its drivers into grouped areas to identify improvement opportunities?

Ps I am not earning anything from this course. I volunteer my time to 1 or 2 Knowledge Exchange activities each year.

I think online passes may be available for my workshops on securing EU funding through demonstrating societal impact next week. If interested, please see aesisnet.com/events/euf25/ and ask @Aesis. Note: if my sessions are popular I'll see if we can share my content for @EIT Food collaborators.

Hello. Would it be possible to consider adding me to this list? I'll be sharing a lot of EIT Food's agriculture and policy opportunities and activities etc. Many thanks for your consideration.
