Abstract: In nowadays society innovation has become a decisive factor in the state of economic and social development of a country or region. At the European Union level, changes have occurred in the approach of this factor, knowledge becoming increasingly appreciated and promoted as an indispensable resource. Currently efforts are being made towards improving knowledge transfer to intercede the distribution of this valuable resource across the European space. The agricultural European Innovation Partnership represents the newest instrument in perfecting knowledge transfer in agriculture. Their approach is different, following the "interactive innovation model" which involves creating partnerships between farmers, advisors, researchers, businesses, and other stakeholders in Operational Groups. EIPs are expected to ensure the optimal development opportunities for partners in innovation and research, so they will be able to work together, reaching better and faster results.
