The funding call HORIZON-CL6-2025-02-FARM2FORK-02 aims to support the continuation and expansion of the European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare. This initiative focuses on achieving strategic research and innovation goals, strengthening collaborations, and integrating additional partners, particularly from underrepresented Member States and Associated Countries. The call emphasizes financial support to third parties, facilitating transnational research projects and networking activities to drive science-based policy advisory and innovative solutions. The partnership will build upon the established groundwork of HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-2, maintaining continuity and minimizing disruptions.
Activities include co-funded transnational research calls, integrative networking, training sessions, and promoting international cooperation. Additional activities are expected to yield actionable outcomes, ensure research uptake, and address emerging priorities within animal health and welfare. The funding supports partnerships pooling in-kind resources to organize joint initiatives effectively. This call prioritizes a funding model with a 50% reimbursement of eligible costs and emphasizes a seamless extension of the existing grant agreement through an amendment process.
The partnership encourages collaboration with related Horizon Europe Partnerships and supports ready-to-implement solutions and science-policy interfaces. The proposal evaluation will consider alignment with pre-existing objectives and strategic directions of the ongoing partnership, ensuring the effectiveness of newly introduced activities.
