ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

The European Commission expects to fund one Coordination and Support Action, paid as a lump sum, through a single-stage call. The project must run for a minimum of seven years, and the platform's content must be translated into all 24 official EU languages. The proposal must include a plan for financial sustainability and maintenance of the advisory network once the project itself ends. Proposals …

This call wants a project that connects impartial public and private farm advisors across all EU Member States into one network, improves their skills through training, and builds an online platform with an advisor directory, decision-support tools and training courses. At least half the people involved in the project must be practising advisors.
