Funding Possibilities in SC2 and SC5 The calls have opened on the 11th Dec. 2013
Objectives of the SC2 and SC5 Funding Smart growth an economy based on knowledge and innovation Sustainable growth promoting a more resource efficient, greener and more competitive economy Inclusive growth a high-employment economy delivering economic, social and territorial cohesion Mitigating and adapting to climate change Ensuring food security (Global population growth by 2050 is estimated to lead to a 70% increase in food demand, which includes a projected twofold increase in world meat consumption) Managing natural resources and ecosystems sustainably Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources Achieving resource and water efficient society Ensuring sustainable use and supply of raw materials
Multi-Actor Approach Only in SC2 and SC5 Approach aims at more demand-driven innovation through the genuine and sufficient involvement of various actors (end-users such as farmers/farmers' groups, fishers/fisher's groups, advisors, enterprises, etc.) all along the project: from the participation in the planning of work and experiments, their execution up until the dissemination of results and the possible demonstration phase. Facilitation between actors and openness to involve additional actors/groups of actors during the project, for instance relevant EIP operational groups, are strongly recommended.

An Example: SME Participation and International Co-operation. SFS Research and Innovation. Multi Actor Approach (2014). SME participation should be ensured. China or third country participation is especially encouraged: SFS-1 Sustainable terrestrial livestock production A. Genetics and nutrition and alternative feed sources for terrestial livestock production B. Tackling losses from terrestial animal diseases (vaccines) SFS-3 Practical solutions for native and alien pests affecting plants A. Native and alien pests in agriculture and forestry (prevention and management) B. EU-China cooperation on IPM (Integrated Pest Management) in agriculture (cooperation should benefit both EU and China farmers and consumers) SFS-4 Soil quality and function (analysis of agricultural land use and management)
An Example: SFS-2-2014/2015 - Sustainable Crop Production. Research and Innovation. Multi Actor Approach. Spesific Challenge: Loss of soil fertility and the consequent massive use of expensive external nutrient inputs, notably Nitrogen and Phosphorous, for which European agriculture is almost totally dependent on imported products, or on fertilizers produced with expensive industrial processes, which generates greenhouse gases (GHGs). Economic losses for farmers Burden on environment Impact on human health Scope: Proposals should address one of the following issues (A) and (B), and should clearly indicate to which one they refer.
A. [2014] External nutrient inputs. Multi Actor Approach. Proposals should find innovative and effective strategies to improve the management of external nutrient inputs and water, and optimise their use efficiency at farm level to improve both yield and quality. Novel approaches could include advanced automation, variable rate applications, remote sensing, field and crop sensors, ICT technologies. In-field demonstration to prove concept feasibility should also be foreseen. Proposals should fall under the concept of 'multi-actor approach'..
B. [2015] Assessing soil-improving cropping systems. Multi-Actor Approach. Proposals should assess real benefits (reduced energy needs and GHG emissions) that soil-improving cropping systems and agronomic techniques, e.g. precision farming, crop rotations, Conservation agriculture, can bring to European agriculture. Proposals should also identify and minimise limitations and drawbacks which may include increased weeds, soil pathogens and problems with certain types of crops in relation to climatic conditions. Scientifically supported and field tested evidences of the mentioned beneficial effects as well as of drawbacks and methods to minimise them, are needed. The development of tailormade soil-improving strategies, techniques and machinery suitable to different farming areas and adapted to different crops and crop systems, should help to overcome the current barriers that prevent their adoption by European farmers. Proposals should fall under the concept of 'multi-actor approach'
Expected Impact: Proposals should show how some, or all, of the following impacts will be achieved: Improvement of ground and surface water quality. Reduction of soil contaminations with toxic compounds and heavy metals. Conservation of biodiversity and wildlife. Improved human health, through the reduced release of pollutants and GHGs. Scientific support to relevant EU policies Sound scientific evaluation of benefits and drawbacks of soilimproving cropping systems and techniques. Reduction of soil erosion and improvement of soil quality and structure Increased European farmers competitiveness through the reduction of production costs. Reduction of the negative environmental impact of crop production through less soil disturbance, better exploitation of soil biodiversity and functions and more rational use of external inputs, water and natural resource base.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU in the range of EUR 8 million for (A) and EUR 9 million for (B) would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. The conditions related to this topic are provided at the end of this call and in the General Annexes.
