Horizon 2020
The European Commission has
recently opened Horizon 2020 calls for
2015 based on an updated version of
the Horizon 2020 Work Programme
2014-2015 adopted on 22/07/2014.
The EU’s programme for research and
innovation includes for 2015 fourteen
different topics of particular interest to
agriculture and forestry for an overall
indicative budget of around 123 million
Euros. As well as this, the agricultural
and forestry sectors can also benefit
from central calls on the SME
instrument and from the brand-new
instrument 'Fast-track to innovation'.
All aim at making the best of the EU’s
biological resources in a sustainable
way.
Fourteen research topics for a more
sustainable agriculture and forestry.
Seven of the Horizon 2020 topics
support projects which target demand-
driven innovation and a multi-actor
approach to knowledge-exchange
activities. Thematic networks, for
example, are supported under the
topic Closing the research and
innovation divide. Involving end-users,
such as farmers, farmers’ groups,
advisors, enterprises and others,
throughout the whole project will
ensure that innovative solutions which
are more likely to be applied in the
field are produced. In 2015, five
thematic networks for around 10
million euros will be selected. They will
contribute to the European Innovation
Partnership
for
Agricultural
Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-
AGRI).
