AGROECOLOGY Partnership - 3rd co-funded call

Original title (EN): AGROECOLOGY Partnership 3rd co-funded call - Fostering plant and animal genetic diversity and empowering farmers to accelerate the agroecological transition

This call is closed. The submission deadline was 8 July 2026. It stays in the catalogue because these windows recur: ask to be alerted when it reopens.

What it funds

Third transnational call of the European agroecology partnership, structured in two themes: harnessing crop and livestock genetic diversity for the agroecological transition, and strengthening farmers' involvement and decision-making autonomy. Projects must adopt interactive, transdisciplinary approaches with co-creation and co-implementation processes based on living labs or similar formats. Two-stage procedure: pre-proposal by 18 February 2026 and full proposal by 8 July 2026. The funder board brings together 27 agencies from 19 countries.

Who can apply

Transnational consortia of research organisations, universities, companies, farmers' organisations and advisory services. The eligibility of each partner and the fundable cost items are defined by its own national funding agency's rules.

Access for non-resident businesses

Consorzio transnazionale obbligatorio con partner provenienti dai paesi le cui agenzie partecipano alla call. Il numero minimo di paesi e di partner non è indicato nelle pagine consultate e va letto nel testo integrale della call. Vincolo pratico determinante: ogni partner può essere finanziato solo se la propria agenzia nazionale ha aderito a quella tornata, quindi un'impresa italiana deve verificare la partecipazione italiana prima di investire nella preparazione.

Notes and caveats

CLOSED. Themes, the two-stage procedure and deadlines verified on the partnership website on 27 August 2026. The overall budget, the formal opening date and the minimum consortium composition rule are NOT published on the page consulted and remain null. The partnership has issued one call per year since 2023: a fourth round is plausible but no official confirmation was found.
