What is the Bioeconomy?

The bioeconomy…

…those parts of the economy that use renewable biological resources from LAND and SEA

… to produce FOOD, BIO-BASED PRODUCTS, MATERIALS and ENERGY.

This presentation shall neither be binding nor construed as constituting commitment by the European Commission

Bioeconomy – Why?

Europe must hurry to act facing inter-related challenges:

1. Food security

2. Energy security 3. Climate change 4. Re-industrialisation of Europe and modernisation of agriculture 5. Reducing dependence on fossil resources


Bioeconomy – EU Political context

An Agenda for Jobs, Growth, Fairness and Democratic Change

A New Boost for

Jobs, Growth

and Investment

A Deeper and Fairer Internal Market with a Strengthened

Industrial Base

A Resilient Energy

Union with a Forward-

Looking Climate Change Policy

A Stronger Global Actor

A Union of democratic

change

Why Food and Nutrition Research?

• 9 billion people by 2050

• Estimated need of a 70% increase of global food production

• Nowadays, 1.5 Earths needed for resources. Two Earths by 2030!

• 1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted per year – 100 kg per person in EU

• 795 million adults undernourished

• 1.9 billion adults overweight ; 185.000 people die from diabetes due to overconsumption of sugars

The multi-actor approach under WP2016-2017: Key elements

• Description now in WP introduction p. 9-10

• Multi-actor projects are about interactive innovation

• Beyond dissemination requirement and stakeholders' board

• Genuine and sufficient involvement of various actors all along the project, from planning to demonstration

• Demonstrate how project will respond to end-users needs

• Substantial practical knowledge easily accessible and understandable

• Contribution to EIP-AGRI (for EIP-AGRI related areas)

• Practice abstracts respecting the common EIP format

• Strong recommendation to connect with operational groups

Lessons learnt from 2014 and 2015 calls (1)

No negotiation - impact on evaluations: • Consistency between task and budget allocation

is essential • Any shortcoming (other than minor and obvious

clerical errors) are reflected with lower scores • Proposal is evaluated and funded as it is

submitted

TIPS

TIPS - Lessons Learnt

• Start in time:

• register in the Participant Portal

• Submit a draft (overwriting)

• Respect the page limits

• Be concise, less can be more

• Excellent science is not enough:

• Consider all the criteria

• Consider sub-criteria

Before you start

• Look at the Work Programme and general annexes

• Address the topic & objectives

• Specific requirements

• Cross Cutting Issues

• Multi-actor Approach

• Gender Dimension

• Dissemination – important

TIPS - Lessons Learnt

• Get impartial colleagues to read it before

• Check on consistency between Part A and Part B

• Put yourself in the shoes of a reviewer

• Speak with your NCPs

• Subscribe as expert reviewer (but not for your topic)

97

Success rates: new rule for two-stage calls

• In 2014- 2015 calls, low success rates at second stage level

• Introduction of dynamic threshold in the first stage evaluation (see General Annexes of Work Programme 2016- 2017):

Intention: to get a number of proposals which

represent approximately 3 times the available budget to second stage.
