SUMMARY:Deadline for full proposal submission: The Second Call for Proposals on FutureFoodS Partnership
DESCRIPTION: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. \nCall Topics: \n\nTopic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets\nTopic 2: Towards diverse\, sustainable and circular food processing systems\nTopic 3: Importance of trust and transparency \n\nPlease 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. \nEstonian 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.) \nEstonian 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. \nResearch 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. \nPlease find more info about the call announcement \nMore info about the call and documents: https://futurefoods.ptj.de/call2-pp\nPartnering platform: https://futurefoods.ptj.de/call2/partnering\nPartnership webpage: https://www.futurefoodspartnership.eu/ \nA Webinar about this Call will take place on 11th of December 11-13 CET.

SUMMARY:Deadline for submitting application: Joint call with Japan for proposals on AI-Powered Robotics for Real-World Applications
DESCRIPTION:Deadline for submitting application on 22th of July 2026: Joint call with Japan for proposals on AI-Powered Robotics for Real-World Applications\nThe European Interest Group (EIG) CONCERT-Japan programme call titled „AI-Powered Robotics for Real-World Applications“ was launched on 28th of April 2026 and the deadline to submit the proposals is 22th of July 2026. \nThis call aims to support collaborative research between teams in Japan and Europe\, addressing key scientific and technological challenges in the development of AI-powered robotics. The focus is on adaptive\, autonomous\, and intelligent systems capable of operating in dynamic\, unstructured\, and human-centred real-world environments. Ultimately\, the call seeks to deliver tangible solutions to pressing societal challenges. \nThe EIG CONCERT-Japan programme call works in the same way as former Horizon 2020 ERA-NETS and current Horizon Europe partnerships – each participating country funds its own researchers. In addition to Estonia and Japan\, the following countries are currently expected to participate: Bulgaria\, Czech Republic\, France\, Germany\, Hungary\, Italy\, Poland\, Slovakia\, Spain\, and Türkiye. This list is preliminary and may change before the call opens. Successful projects are expected to start in the first half of 2027. \nEach project consortium must consist of at least 3 eligible beneficiaries (project partners)\, including at least 1 from Japan and at least 2 from two different European countries participating in the Joint Call. \nEstonian host institution must be a positively evaluated R&D institution that is a legal entity registered in Estonia. List of evaluated institutions is provided in the Estonian Research Information System (ETIS). \nEstonian participants are financed by ETAG in the amount of 150\,000 euros (standard project partner) or 300\,000 euros (coordinator) – even if there is more than one Estonian partner in one project. I case of multible Estonian partners\, all have to meet the national PI eligibility criteriums given in the call text. \n  \nCall deadline: 22th of July 2026 at 11:00 (EET) \nProposals have to be submitted by using the online tool. \n  \nHow to find a partner in Japan? \n\nto identify suitable project partners in Japan or other participating countries\, applicants can use the Partner Search Tool available here. This tool supports both consortia seeking additional partners and researchers looking to join a consortium.\nwe recommend contacting the international cooperation office at your institution to check for existing collaboration agreements with Japanese research organisations and to request support in establishing contacts with Japanese researchers.\nETAG can also assist in finding suitable partners in Japan. ETAG has prior contacts with the international offices of the University of Tokyo\, Kyoto University\, Osaka University\, and Hosei University. We can send inquiries to these institutions to see if they would be willing to assist in establishing a contact.\nETAG may also contact other Japanese research organisations; however\, without a prior contact\, the Japanese institution might not respond. For more information\, please contact ETAG’s contact person: Katrin Saar (katrin.saar@etag.ee)\n\n  \nCall text with national regulations \nGuidelines for the applicants \nProject description template \nMore information about the call \n  \nContact at ETAG: \nKatrin Saar \nkatrin.saar@etag.ee \n(+372) 5333 5625

SUMMARY:The 13th Joint Call for Proposals “AI-Powered Robotics for Real-World Applications” will be launched
DESCRIPTION:The European Interest Group (EIG) CONCERT-Japan will launch its 13th joint call for proposals on 28 April 2026\, focusing on AI-Powered Robotics for Real-World Applications. \nThis call aims to support collaborative research between teams in Japan and Europe\, addressing key scientific and technological challenges in the development of AI-powered robotics. The focus is on adaptive\, autonomous\, and intelligent systems capable of operating in dynamic\, unstructured\, and human-centred real-world environments. Ultimately\, the call seeks to deliver tangible solutions to pressing societal challenges. \nThe call in the EIG CONCERT-Japan programme works in the same way as former Horizon 2020 ERA-NETS and current Horizon Europe partnerships – each participating country funds its own researchers. \nEach project consortium must consist of at least three eligible beneficiaries (project partners)\, including at least one from Japan and at least two from two different European countries participating in the Joint Call. \nIn addition to Estonia and Japan\, the following countries are currently expected to participate: Czech Republic\, Germany\, Hungary\, Italy\, Poland\, Slovakia\, Spain\, and Türkiye. This list is preliminary and may change before the call opens. Successful projects are expected to start in the first half of 2027. \nHow to find a partner in Japan? \n– to identify suitable project partners in Japan or other participating countries\, applicants can use the Partner Search Tool available here: https://partfinder.ncbr.gov.pl/. \nThis tool supports both consortia seeking additional partners and researchers looking to join a consortium. \n– we recommend contacting the international cooperation office at your institution to check for existing collaboration agreements with Japanese research organisations and to request support in establishing contacts with Japanese researchers. \n– ETAG can also assist in finding suitable partners in Japan. ETAG has prior contacts with the international offices of the University of Tokyo\, Kyoto University\, Osaka University\, and Hosei University. We can send inquiries to these institutions to see if they would be willing to assist in establishing a contact. ETAG may also contact other Japanese research organisations; however\, without a prior contact\, the Japanese institution might not respond. For more information\, please contact ETAG’s contact person: Katrin Saar (katrin.saar@etag.ee) \nThe full call text will be published on 28 April 2026. Official pre-announcement: https://concert-japan.eu/pre-announcement-of-13th-call-ai-powered-robotics-for-real-world-applications/ \nMore information in ETAG: \nKatrin Saarkatrin.saar@etag.ee(+372) 5333 5625 \n \n

SUMMARY:Call deadline. Oceans: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:The European Interest Group (EIG) CONCERT-Japan will launce a joint call for proposals\, titled Oceans: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. Call deadline is 22th of July 2025\, results will be announced December 2025 and projects can start Aprill 2026. \nThis call focuses on research that contributes to global warming mitigation and adaptation in marine environments. This is done through a dual focus on blue carbon ecosystems research for CO2 removal as a mitigation strategy as well as research for advancing our understanding of ocean processes to inform climate change adaptation strategies. \nThe call in the CONCERT programme works in same way as Horizon2020 ERA-NETS and Horizon Europe partnerships – each country finances the participation of researchers. \nEach project consortium submitting an application should consist of at least 3 eligible beneficiaries (project partners)\, including at least 1 from Japan and at least 2 from two different European countries participating in the Joint Call. Estonian host institution must be a positively evaluated R&D institution that is a legal entity registered in Estonia. List of evaluated institutions is provided in the Estonian Research Information System (ETIS). \nAdditionally to Estonia and Japan the following countries have also joined the call: Bugaria\, Cyprus\, Czech Republic\, France\, Germany\, Hungary\, Italy\, Poland\, Slovakia\, Spain and Türkiye. \nEstonian participants are financed by ETAG in the amount of 100\,000 euros (standard project partner) or 300\,000 euros (coordinator) – even if there is more than one Estonian partner in one project. I case of multible Estonian partners\, all have to meet the national PI eligibility criteriums. \nIn order to facilitate the process of forming research consortia\, we offer applicants a Partner Search Tool. This tool can be used by project consortia looking for additional partners and researchers looking for project consortia to join. \nCall text can be found here.\nGuidelines for the call.\nOfficial call announcement on EIG-CONCERT programme website. \nMore information in ETAG:\nKatrin Saar\nKatrin.saar@etag.ee\n(+372) 5333 5625
