Scientific and technical assistance on a foresight activity in the field of plant health
Pays one Member-State-designated competent organisation about €800,000 to run horizon-scanning and foresight work on plant health risks for EU crisis preparedness.
Scientific and technical assistance on a foresight activity in the field of plant health is a grant from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that pays one Member-State-designated competent organisation a EUR 800,000 budget for 2026 to run horizon-scanning and foresight work on plant health risks for EU crisis preparedness. It is a single-stage EU Bodies and Agencies grant. Only organisations…
EFSA wants a partner to evolve its plant-pest horizon-scanning mandate, which has run since 2017 through the EIOS system with WHO and JRC technical support, screening information daily and producing monthly newsletters for EU risk managers. The call is looking for development and implementation of more advanced foresight-oriented methods and tools, and closer integration of plant health into the One Health framework.
