Cofunded by the European Union

The FutureFoodS Partnership aims to drive the transition of European food chains toward circular food systems that operate within planetary boundaries.

The initiative focuses on mobilizing research, innovation, and collaboration among diverse stakeholders to address the pressing challenges that make current food systems unsustainable.

The first FutureFoodS call for proposals has been recently launched. It encourages projects to adopt a food systems approach, leveraging interdisciplinary knowledge and engaging a broad range of actors to design transformative solutions. Proposals must focus on one of three themes:

  1. Sustainable and resilient food systems
  2. New foods – Innovations in food design, processing, and supply
  3. Empowering sustainable food choices – Enabling shifts in food environments and diets

Participants from 19 countries are eligible to apply. Information on the eligibility criteria, submission and evaluation procedures, and funding modalities is available on the website of the Partnership: www.futurefoodspartnership.eu/

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for seven years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We know that we can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play and especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as It is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
