Aim of the 2nd transnational Call
Following the Co-funded Call in 2018 (first call), the aim of this second call is to support scientifically excellent transnational research, development and innovation projects that contribute to the improvement of sustainability (environmental, economic and societal) and resilience of crop production.
The Call is intended to fund projects for a maximum of three years according to national regulations. In contrast to the first Call, the second Call is not co-funded by the EC.
Procedure
In a two-phase submission process 46 eligible pre-proposals were peer reviewed and ranked by a panel of international experts. Based on the ranking and the available national/regional funding, 16 research consortia were invited to submit a full proposal. After peer review and ranking of the full proposals by the same evaluation panel, the Call Steering Committee recommended 8 consortia for funding within the limits of available national/regional funding.
