Funding Opportunities for Universities Cooperation development - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Funding Opportunities for Universities Cooperation development PRIMA Foundation, Director Octavi Quintana Trias The PRIMA programme is an Art. 185 initiative supported and funded under Horizon 2020, the Union’s Framework European Programme for Research and Innovation

An integrated Research and Innovation Programme on food systems and water resources 19 Countries , 11 EU and 8 SEMCs, and the EC Equal footing through Scientific, Financial and Management Integration (ex art. 185) 500 million euro budget over 7 years PRIMA Foundation, located in Barcelona

€ 500 mln budget, 11 EU and 8 non-EU Countries on an equal footing involving stakeholders

Key Stakeholders • PRIMA PS authorities 19 Countries , 11 EU and 8 SEMCs • Funding Agencies • PRIMA observers: EC and UfM • International organisations such as FAO, ICARDA… • EU Initiatives: JPIs (FACCE, WATER, CLIMATE, HDHL); EIP-AGRI, EIP WATER, EIT KIC Food..

Why PRIMA? A Med programme to address common challenges in the region Impact of Climate change Population growth and food security issues Water scarcity and overexploitation of resources Unsustainable agricultural practices Agro-biodiversity loss Lack of innovation in Mediterranean value chains

PRIMA Goal • To build research and innovation capacities • to develop knowledge and common innovative solutions for agro- food systems , to make them sustainable , and for integrated water provision and management in the Mediterranean area • to make those systems and that provision and management more climate resilient , efficient, cost-effective and environmentally and socially sustainable , • to contribute to solving water scarcity, food security, nutrition, health, well-being and migration problems upstream.
