Portfolio balancing applies. Grants will be awarded not only in order of ranking but at least also to one project within Area A (wood and wood products) that is the highest ranked, and one project highest ranked within Area B (fruits and vegetables). Proposals must clearly indicate the area they are applying to.
Financial support to third parties (FSTP) is allowed. The maximum amount to be granted to each third party is EUR 60,000. Proposals may provide FSTP to test and demonstrate innovative treatment solutions in diverse contexts involving SMEs.

Expected Outcomes

  1. Innovative cost-effective environmental-friendly phytosanitary treatments for regulated plant pests with proven efficacy and practical applicability are developed and tested.
  2. Science-based guidelines and standardised protocols to support the consistent and efficient application of the developed treatments are available.
  3. Enhanced capacity for implementation and adoption, including demonstrated scalability of treatment solutions and engagement of industry actors, regulatory authorities, and third parties involved in testing and application.
