FutureFoodS has announced the 2nd co-funded call for transnational research projects.
Preliminary call topics
Domestic food practices enhancing sustainable and healthy diets — systemic work at the household level covering food safety, cultures, nutritional needs and consumer behaviour.
Towards diverse, sustainable and circular food processing systems — improved processing/packaging, valorisation of by-products and side-streams, and compositions tailored to diverse consumer groups.
Trust and transparency in sustainable food systems — identify leverage points; assess tools, methods, metrics, indicators and quality signals (e.g. labelling) towards a more unified framework, co-created with system actors.
Applicant & consortium requirements (non-exhaustive)
Minimum three partners from at least three different countries that are eligible for — and request — funding from organisations participating in this call.
Guiding elements in evaluation: transformative perspective; inter- and transdisciplinarity; multi-stakeholder engagement; sustainability.
Mandatory Impact Plan showing progress towards food-systems transformation.
Proposals may be “research-oriented” or “innovation-oriented” (self-assignment).
Who can apply
Tertiary education institutions, research institutes, non-profit legal entities, enterprises (SMEs and large), and public bodies, subject to national/regional rules.
