The workshop was a follow-up to the information and communication needs assessment in Romania, commissioned by the Sustainable Development Group (REUS) of the FAO Regional Office for Europe (REU) in 2002. The objective of the workshop was to offer stakeholders of the broader Agriculture Knowledge and Information Systems (AKIS) community in Romania an opportunity to exchange information on their information and communication systems. In addition, the workshop aimed at analysing the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats for information and communication systems (ICS) for agricultural research and rural development, analysing gaps and formulating project ideas to fill critical gaps for the improvement of ICS to contribute to rural development.
