Expected outcomes
It is expected that proposals provide a clear added value to at least one of the general objectives and corresponding core themes of the AGROECOLOGY partnership under which framework this co-funded call is being conducted. It is strongly recommended that applicants consider the strategic research and innovation agenda (SRIA) underpinning AGROECOLOGY when developing the project idea.
If applicable, applicants are encouraged to address the science-policy interface in their proposal, both during project implementation and in terms of the valorisation of project outcomes with respect to relevant policies(including the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) but also relevant national and regional policies). Successful proposals shall contribute to the following outcomes:
- Agroecological innovations based on co-creation between scientists, relevant stakeholders and end users at the farm and/or landscape level
