The AGROECOLOGY Partnership will soon launch its 4th co-funded call, entitled “Accelerating systemic agroecological transitions for resilient and competitive agricultural and food systems”.
Topics
Building on previous calls and European initiatives, the call aims to develop scalable knowledge and solutions adapted to Europe’s diverse agricultural, environmental and socio-economic contexts.
Research and Innovation (R&I) proposals shall apply the multi-actor approach and exhibit co-creation and co-implementation structures, via Living Labs or similar approaches.
The Partnership will fund R&I projects that make a significant contribution to one of the following two topics:
Topic 1: Systemic redesign pathways for agroecological transition
This topic focuses on designing, testing and implementing agroecological innovations across farming systems, landscapes, territories, value chains and food systems.
Topic 2: Agroecology for resilience, food security and enabling transition frameworks
This topic focuses on assessing agroecology’s contribution to resilience, food security, strategic autonomy and competitiveness, and on developing scenarios, governance approaches and incentives to support long-term transitions under uncertainty.
Institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) will be eligible to participate in the call. The SAS Presidium has allocated an indicative budget of EUR 120,000 to support one research project for a period of three years.
Further information on the scope of the planned call, participation requirements and timeline is provided in the attached document.
