Deadline for full proposal submission: The Second Call for Proposals on FutureFoodS Partnership
July 27
The second call of the Horizon Europe partnership for a sustainable Future of Food Systems (FutureFoodS) on the topic „Accelerating Food Sustainability – through Household Dietary Shifts, Trust and Transparency, and Innovations in Circular Food Processing Systems“ is now open.
Call Topics:
- Topic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
- Topic 2: Towards diverse, sustainable and circular food processing systems
- Topic 3: Importance of trust and transparency
Please note that primary production (on land and sea/water), such as growing food, agricultural production and other specific aspects related to it, as well as diseases related to nutrition and lifestyle are not in focus in this partnership. These aspects are covered in other Horizon Europe partnerships. However, dependencies and impacts related to these aspects may need to be reflected upon in a project to fully embrace a food systems approach.
Estonian partner(s) in a successful project will be funded by the Estonian Research Council (ETAG). The maximum requested budget for the Estonian partner(s) participating in one project, if all Estonian partners participate as regular partners, is 150 000 euros per project. If the Project Coordinator is from an Estonian research organisation, the requested budget for the Estonian sub-project may be up to 300 000 euros. (If several Estonian partners participate in a project coordinated by an Estonian partner, the maximum requested budget of all Estonian partners in the project is still 300 000 euros.)
Estonian applicants have to take into account that all project-related costs must be incurred no later than 31.08.2029, i.e. the Estonian partner’s activities must be completed by that time.
Research consortia should consist of a minimum of three partners requesting funding from at least three different countries and Funding Parties from this co-funded call. All partners must meet the requirements of their national funding organization.
