WP structure Structured in 5 calls Sustainable Food Security – Resilient and resourceefficient value chains Blue Growth - Demonstrating an ocean of opportunities Rural Renaissance - Fostering innovation and business opportunities Bio-based innovation for sustainable goods and services - Supporting the development of a European Bioeconomy Other actions 6 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Sustainable Food Security – Resilient and resource-efficient value chains Research and innovation are vital to understanding, minimising and coping with risks to food security and to creating new production, processing and consumption models. The focus area ‘sustainable food security’ will put greater emphasis on the resilience of primary production, coping with resource depletion and climate change, and research and innovation along the food value chain than the previous work programme (2014– 2015). 7 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Sustainable Food Security – Resilient and resource-efficient value chains From a demand-side perspective, it will also highlight sustainable and healthy consumption and lifestyles. This focus area has been aligned with the Commission’s strategic guidelines and with the need to provide evidencebased support for relevant EU policies such as plant health or food safety. The vast majority of research in Europe is funded at national level. It is therefore important that support for transnational coordination on national and regional research programmes continues to consolidate the European Research Area, and streamlines the required research activities. 8 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Sustainable Food Security – Resilient and resource-efficient value chains The Framework Partnership Agreement for implementing ERA-NET Cofund projects is designed to strengthen and simplify cooperation between the European Commission and the Member States and to support more strategic collaboration between research programme managers. This focus area has four sub-areas: More resilient and resource efficient value chains Environment-smart and climate-smart primary production A competitive food industry Healthy and safe foods and diets for all 9 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Sustainable Food Security – Resilient and resource-efficient value chains Two areas focusing on international cooperation: Support to the implementation of the EU-Africa Partnership on Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture Implementation of the EU-China Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Flagship initiative and EU-South East Asian cooperation around aquaculture. 10 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Blue Growth Demonstrating an ocean of opportunities Targeted innovation in our seas and oceans and an optimal use of the wide variety of research infrastructures available can play a key role in tackling global challenges such as the scarcity and vulnerability of strategic resources (e. g. for food, energy, transport, etc. ), while providing valuable ecosystem services factoring in climate change. 11 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Blue Growth Demonstrating an ocean of opportunities This has the potential to provide more jobs, growth, renewable energy sources and climate-smart solutions. However, a risky environment, insufficient knowledge, data access, and uncertain financial and legal frameworks are critical barriers to overcome. EU intervention is therefore needed to bridge these gaps and create the conditions for mobilising investment in testing and demonstration projects for new technologies, bringing them ‘from lab to market' and avoiding the costly duplication of work. 12 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Blue Growth Demonstrating an ocean of opportunities This Focus Area is based on four interlinked pillars, all of which include the mainstreaming of skills and competence development: 1) 2) 3) 4) Boosting innovation for emerging Blue Growth activities Linking healthy oceans and seas with healthy people The Arctic dimension Valorising the Mediterranean Sea Basin 13 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Rural Renaissance - Fostering innovation and business opportunities Rural areas are Europe's primary source of food and reservoir of natural resources. They play a major role in managing and ensuring sustainable use of these resources and the delivery of food, public goods and ecosystem services providing long-term benefits society as a whole. At the same time they are affected by a range of demographic, economic and societal developments such as urbanisation, depopulation, business relocation and population ageing. 14 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION

Call - Rural Renaissance - Fostering innovation and business opportunities The call will support a 'rural renaissance' by raising the natural, social, cultural and economic potential of rural areas and fostering policy coherence. It will aim to boost economic development, environmental services and entrepreneurial innovation, in particular in SMEs, in rural and coastal areas. This will be achieved by building on diversification and modernisation strategies and capitalising on local assets, including human, natural and cultural capital. The call is structured around three main areas: 1. new approaches towards policies and governance 2. new value chains and business models 3. innovation and skills development Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION 15

Call - Bio-based innovation for sustainable goods and services - Supporting the development of a European Bioeconomy This call will embrace two main aspects of the bio-based innovation. Firstly, it will encompass the production, mobilisation and use of biomass including new business and service models, to sustainably secure raw material supply for a wide range of industrial products taking into account potential trade-offs of competing land-uses. Secondly, it will consider stakeholders engagement and demand-side measures supporting market development of biobased products. Within this focus area, two sub-areas have been identified: Securing sustainable biomass supply for bio-based goods and services Building the "bio-based markets of the future"- mobilising stakeholders engagement IMPORTANT: SME INSTRUMENT and FAST TRACK 16 Nicola Tucci H 2020 NEW CALL WP 2016 -2017 PRESENTATION
