PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT

FutureFoodS hereby pre-announces the 2nd co-funded call for transnational research projects.

Preliminary call topics

  1. Domestic food practices enhancing sustainable and healthy diets — systemic work at the household level covering food safety, cultures, nutritional needs and consumer behaviour.

  2. Towards diverse, sustainable and circular food processing systems — improved processing/packaging, valorisation of by-products and side-streams, and compositions tailored to diverse consumer groups.

  3. Trust and transparency in sustainable food systems — identify leverage points; assess tools, methods, metrics, indicators and quality signals (e.g. labelling) towards a more unified framework, co-created with system actors.

Applicant & consortium requirements (non-exhaustive)

  • Minimum three partners from at least three different countries that are eligible for — and request — funding from organisations participating in this call.

  • Guiding elements in evaluation: transformative perspective; inter- and transdisciplinarity; multi-stakeholder engagement; sustainability.

  • Mandatory Impact Plan showing progress towards food-systems transformation.

  • Proposals may be “research-oriented” or “innovation-oriented” (self-assignment).
