Summary
This theme concerns proposals to align research and innovation programmes on sustainable natural resources, with a particular focus on soil and water resilience, the security of food systems and the sustainable use of biomass in the bioeconomy.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should demonstrate the potential for impact and scalability of their proposed activities. Proposals should collaborate and ensure synergies with ongoing and past projects and initiatives on bioeconomy governance, and collaborate with the Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE) JU and its widening strategy.
The successful proposal will contribute to:
- engage ministries, research funders, and managers as well as thematic networks, to mobilise resources and create synergies between European, national and regional level funds;
- establish frameworks for communication and coordination among European and national bioeconomy related programme owners and managers to reduce fragmentation;
- enhance long-term cooperation in the bioeconomy to amplify research impact on socio-economic development while supporting widening and the EU enlargement process;
- address the region’s geopolitical, research, and innovation challenges by achieving coherence across research, policy, and funding instruments in the bioeconomy. This includes fostering climate neutrality, contributing to the reduction of biodiversity loss, promoting an inclusive, circular, sustainable bioeconomy through an integrated macro-regional approach to research and innovation.
