Research - National Research

The Department supports national research across a range of thematic areas related to agriculture, food, forestry, the bioeconomy and cross-cutting matters. It does this through running ‘Thematic Research Calls’ periodically (typically every two years).

Recent Thematic Research Calls

The Strategic Studies Research strand is designed to provide a more flexible funding vehicle capable of addressing mainly policy issues more rapidly whilst still requiring scientific rigour. Research Calls are frequently opened based on specific topics identified by DAFM to address immediate or short- to medium-term strategic/policy needs.
