Description

This funding opportunity aims to reinforce the European Research Area (ERA) by strengthening coordination between European and national research and innovation (R&I) programs, specifically through the activities of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Research (SCAR) Working Groups. The grant supports organizing, facilitating, and reporting on SCAR WG meetings and workshops, preparing analyses and policy-relevant outputs, and fostering cross-collaboration among groups. It also encourages the use of innovative and digital tools, broad dissemination of SCAR outputs, and alignment with major EU strategies such as the European Green Deal, the Bioeconomy Strategy, and the Vision for Agriculture and Food. The scope covers agriculture, fisheries, food systems, forestry, the wider bioeconomy, and foresight, aiming to enhance R&I cooperation, information exchange, and synergies at both national and EU levels.
