Description
The measure promotes research and innovation for improved detection, reporting, verification, and reduction of non-CO₂ greenhouse gases (particularly methane and nitrous oxide) as well as associated air pollutants from agricultural systems. Through the development and testing of novel measurement and reporting systems, uncertainties are to be reduced and high-quality data generated for policy and practice. Funding is provided to transnational consortia consisting of at least three partners from different EU or associated countries, who demonstrably possess expertise in GHG monitoring and verification procedures and ensure knowledge transfer into agricultural practice. The duration is 36 months, with a funding rate of 100% for personnel costs, subcontractor services, as well as material and expert costs. Real estate investments and retrospective costs are excluded.
With a total budget of €6 million, interdisciplinary consortia from companies, research and educational institutions, and non-profit organizations are to develop innovative methods to reliably map emission hotspots at the farm level. The results will be incorporated into practice-oriented verification protocols and support farmers and advisors in implementing effective mitigation measures. Selection criteria include scientific excellence, impact potential, and implementation quality. Applications including project description, work and milestone plan, as well as CVs of key personnel, can be submitted until 16 September 2025, 5 p.m. Brussels time. Project activities may commence no earlier than 1 January 2026. Interested consortia are encouraged to carefully review the funding guidelines and obtain comprehensive information via the Funding & Tenders Portal.
