The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) invites eligible Irish Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) to submit joint research proposals under the ICT-AGRI-FOOD ERANET Joint Call on “Tackling digitalisation for sound agriculture and food systems”.
The Joint Call aims to bring together actors from across the entire food system (from conventional and organic supply chains) in a multi-actor approach to develop digital technology solutions that will enable the transition to more sustainable, transparent and resilient agri-food systems.
DAFM will provide a total of €1M in funding for Irish consortia applying under 2024 Joint Call with a maximum budget for Irish partners of €500K per project.
Applicants seeking grant-aid from DAFM can apply for funding under any of the scientific topic areas which include:
