Strengthening strategic advice and synergies between EU and national Research and Innovation agendas and investments
Overview
This Horizon Europe funding opportunity, labeled HORIZON-CL6-2027-03-GOVERNANCE-07, aims to strengthen strategic coordination and synergies between EU and national Research and Innovation agendas. It is part of a broader initiative focused on governance in the fields of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food systems, and the bioeconomy. The call is scheduled to open on February 4, 2027, with a submission deadline of May 11, 2027, at 17:00 Brussels time. The financial model for this opportunity is a Lump Sum Grant, supporting a single project with a total budget of approximately €4,750,000.
Eligible applicants for this funding include research institutions, universities, public bodies, and non-profit organizations that demonstrate the capacity to coordinate transnational research and innovation activities. The funding is specifically targeted at organizations capable of facilitating the activities of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Research (SCAR) Working Groups.
The application process is a single-stage submission, requiring a complete proposal at the time of submission. The project aims to enhance governance and strategic alignment in agricultural research, with expected outcomes including improved coordination within the European Research Area (ERA), increased visibility for SCAR activities, and effective dissemination of research outputs to stakeholders.
The competitive nature of the grant suggests a low success rate, likely under 10%, given there is only one expected grant available. Importantly, no co-funding is required, allowing for a straightforward financial arrangement. This initiative is aligned with several EU strategic priorities, including the European Green Deal and the EU Bioeconomy Strategy.
Overall, this opportunity provides a platform for advancing collaboration and policy alignment in European agricultural research and innovation, focusing on enhancing capacity, information exchange, and stakeholder engagement.
