The first call of the Horizon Europe Agriculture of Data (AgData) partnership on the topic „EU-wide data-driven solutions to real problems“ is now open.
Call Topics:
Topic 1 – Data technologies and data management focused on identification, access, storage, integration and processing of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data, tackling the diversity of relevant data to achieve i) interoperability, ii) data sharing in data marketplaces and data cooperatives and iii) enable application of AI techniques to develop robust AI models for the sector.
Topic 2 – Data-based solutions for sustainable agriculture intended to strengthen capacities to adapt to climate change, enhancing functionality, performance assessment and decision making.
Topic 3 – Data-based solutions for policy-making to provide reliable indicators that reflect effects of policies, in particular the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and development of tools to strengthen policy performance assessment, by means of data gathering and analytical capabilities. The current national assessment approach will be improved by an EU approach. Benefits for end users like the reduction of administrative burden and support to their own decision-making tools should be explored.
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.
