ERA-NET SusAn: Announcement of a call on sustainable animal production
The ERA-NET Sustainable Animal Production (SusAn) has launched the first call for transnational research proposals on January 4th, 2016. 37 partners from 23 countries have committed 17 m € for research. This amount will be topped up with 4 m € for research by the European Commission (EU-cofunded call).
The funding organisations agreed that future development of the European Animal Production sector will need to build on the sustainability triangle of economic competitiveness, social acceptability and environmental protection.
This co-funded call for research is open to transnational research proposals which take a systems and interdisciplinary approach to research to address multiple objectives under the following three Research Areas:
- Area 1 (‘Economy’): Improve the productivity, resilience and competitiveness of European Animal Production
- Area 2 (‘Environment’): Improve and manage resource use to reduce waste and enhance the environmental sustainability of European animal production
- Area 3 (‘Society’): Improve on-farm practices to enhance consumer acceptability and address societal challenges associated with animal welfare, product quality and safety, biodiversity and provision of ecosystem services
Consortia should submit cross-cutting research proposals which address all three areas, and build on the sustainability triangle of economic competitiveness, social acceptability and environmental protection.
The SusAn website provides a ‘partnering tool’ that can be used by researchers to find consortium partners.
Deadline for submission of pre-proposals is 29.03.2016.
