Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: - strengthened coordination between European and national research and innovation programmes and agendas in the areas of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Research (SCAR) Working Groups (WGs), resulting in a reinforced European Research Area (ERA); - improved impact and visibility of the SCAR WGs through organisation, facilitation and reporting of SCAR WGs activities on the various themes of main relevance for European R&I activities and relevant policy initiatives, leading to enhanced R&I cooperation and information exchange between Member States and Associated Countries and synergies at national and EU level; - SCAR WGs are supported in delivering their objectives as outlined in their mandates by various measures including through capacity building and support for SCAR WG cross-collaboration and inclusiveness; - broad dissemination of the outputs of the SCAR WGs to relevant stakeholders, such as EU level and national policy makers, the research community and practitioners, which should also be available to the SCAR Steering Group and Plenary.

Scope: The successful proposal should contribute to relevant R&I priorities in the thematic areas of the SCAR, in agriculture, fisheries, food systems, forestry, and the wider bioeconomy, as well as foresight.

What European Union reviewers look for

  • Most Horizon Europe calls score three criteria (the ERC uses excellence alone). Excellence: clarity and ambition of the objectives, and the soundness of the methodology.
  • Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
  • Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
