Read the draft Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2016-2017 for agriculture, food and forestry

The European Commission has just published a provisional version of the Horizon 2020 work programme 2016-2017 here, highlighting that only the final version will prevail.

This draft work programme includes a wealth of opportunities for EIP-AGRI members, with in particular 371 million euros of funding for multi-actor projects spread over 38 topics. These can be found in three calls: sustainable food security, rural renaissance (under Societal challenge 2) and Internet of things (under Cross-cutting activities).

You can also look for opportunities under Greening the economy (Societal challenge 5) and Circular economy (Cross-cutting activities).

The EIP-AGRI Service Point is currently preparing a brochure to help you find your way through these calls, which will be published mid-October based on the approved final version.

An InfoWeek on Societal Challenge 2 calls 2016 is also foreseen from 24 to 27 November 2015 with a special workshop on multi-actor projects.
