EIP-AGRI Brochure on Funding opportunities under Horizon 2020 - Calls 2016

Horizon 2020 is the largest source of public funding for Research and Innovation from the European Commission. It has a budget of around €3.7 billion for the Societal Challenge 2 (SC2) on "Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine, maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy" for 2014-2020.

Through this societal challenge, Horizon 2020 aims to create solutions for problems which farmers and foresters currently face, and includes opportunities for funding projects where researchers and practitioners build solutions together. Specific efforts will be made to share knowledge and results that are ready to be put into practice, with the active support of the EIP-AGRI network.

Horizon 2020 also tries to work across different areas and themes, to boost innovation. This is why relevant opportunities for agriculture also appear in other parts of the Work Programme than Societal Challenge 2. This brochure should help you find your way through the different calls for 2016.
