Multi-actor approach is an eligibility criterion. Proposals that fail to implement the multi-actor approach will be declared ineligible and rejected before evaluation. This requires meaningful involvement of end-users (farmers, foresters, advisors) in the consortium and throughout the project.
JRC participation possible. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) may participate as member of the consortium selected for funding.

Expected Outcomes

  1. EU-wide dialogue and cooperation on plant protection challenges and solutions is improved for policymakers, researchers, innovators and other stakeholders.
  2. Policymakers, researchers, innovators and other stakeholders participate in a co-creative, multi-actor environment to jointly identify and address research and innovation needs towards stronger alignment of R&I efforts, guided by shared priorities and evidence-based insights.
  3. Coordinated transition plans and broader uptake by all actors of sustainable, scalable plant protection solutions across the EU.
