Subtopic A: 3 MEUR budget/project Subtopic B: 7 MEUR/project Subtopic C (in 2020): to be defined

total budget: RIA: 14 MEUR

CHALLENGE, SCOPE AND IMPACT

CHALLENGE: • Genetic resources (GenRes) hold the key to the adaptation of plants and animals to a changing and more variable climate, yet their diversity remains largely underused. Access to resources is often limited by the quality of the material and the information provided by the various conservation sites. There is a need to expand and improve the preservation as well as the use of plant and animal GenRes in farming and forestry.

SCOPE(Proposals should address the following activities:)

• Activities will address processes, tools and know-how associated with a dynamic management and documentation of GenRes collections (both ex-situ and in-situ, as appropriate), development and testing of a range of solutions to enhance quality and efficiency of operations and services across collections. Major efforts should go into capturing and characterising the genetic diversity in germplasm and revealing novel information to users, including acquiring of comprehensive and more precise genotypic and phenotypic information on GenRes material etc.

IMPACT (Proposals are expected to contribute to:)

• help establishing high quality, harmonised standards for the management and description of GenRes across Europe (and beyond);

• increase the quantity and quality of data in established information systems for crop, forest and animal GenRes;

• promote innovative ways of sharing resources and services between genebanks/in-situ conservation sites in Europe and beyond;

• develop methods and tools for greater insight into the characteristics and the value of collections;

• create novel services for users within and outside the conservation communities.

Up to 6 MEUR budget/project

6 MEUR total budget

CHALLENGE:

• With the widespread use of anti-microbials recenetly, the World is increasingly confronted with the emergence and spread of microbes that resist anti-microbial treatment. Addressing AMR is a cross-sectorial issue, requiring action by different policy areas, stakeholders and policy makers. The agriculture is a main target for action. In line with the EU animal health strategy alternative strategies to anti-microbials need be developed.

SCOPE(Proposals should address all of the following activities:)

• Activities shall focus on developing and testing new, efficient and targeted alternatives to anti-microbials in farmed animal production - any type of alternative intervention measures. Basic research on gut microbiome should not be covered under this topic. Proposals should take into account the guidelines, standards and legislation in the field, to facilitate the marketing of the measures the project will identify. Proposals should fall under the concept of 'multi-actor approach', involving at least representatives of practitioners of the feed/feed additives and pharmaceutical industries.


• The funded activities will contribute to the fight against anti-microbial resistance arising from farmed animal production. More specifically they will help develop alternative intervention measures from technology readiness levels (TRL) 5-6 to TRL 7.

• The funded activities will contribute to improved animal disease prevention and control, reduced production losses and improved resource-use

CHALLENGE:

• While new pests and diseases are likely to arise, existing ones might become more severe as a result of intensification, climatic variations and changes in agricultural and forest management practices. They can have a significant impact on agricultural and forest productivity. Appropriate and rapid responses from decision-makers need to be informed by scientific knowledge which addresses pest and disease management in a comprehensive manner.

• Proposals will increase knowledge of the biology, development and spread of pests/diseases, improve methods and strategies for early detection, prevention and control as well as enlarge the range of tools for integrated and sustainable pest/disease management. International cooperation is encouraged.


• the understanding of drivers of plant pest/disease emergence including the influence of climate change;

• the development of efficient tools for the prevention, detection and control of pests/diseases;

• the development of environmentally sound solutions for pest/disease management in farming and forestry in line with the principles of Integrated Pest Management;

• The move towards a Food Cloud would accelerate and support the ongoing transition to a more Open Science and Open Innovation model for food and nutrition systems. Although the components needed to create a first generation Food Cloud are largely there, they are fragmented, spread over EU Member States and across different scientific communities, and lack interoperability.

• There is a lack of widespread awareness of the value of open research data and of incentives and possibilities for data sharing and no dedicated and mandated effort or instrument to co-ordinate EOSC-type activities within the area of FNS research.

CHALLENGE:

• Proposals shall advance the EOSC by building and implementing Food Cloud demonstrators, ensuring their long term sustainability, address the federation, networking and co-ordination of research infrastructures and scientific clouds for the purpose of increasing data findability, accessibility interoperability, and reusability improving the services provided to research communities and facilitating re-use of data by a wider user community.

• Particular attention shall be paid to reducing fragmentation of existing governance models, stimulate collaboration between researchers in the food and nutrition domain and ICT/data specialists. Proposals shall also rely on effective global standards, and build on best practices regarding governance and financing.


• By 2025, improved data management tools, practices and skills in selected scientific areas that relate to FNS based on better understanding between e-infrastructure providers/operators and scientific domain specialists/users;

• Also by 2025, a proven governance and business model for the Food Cloud based on best practices, on broadly supported policy choices, and on effective global standards;
