Theme 2: Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnologies
Calls in Activity 1 KBBE-2007-1- x
• « Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments »
• Call deadline: 02/05/07
KBBE-2007-1-2-01.“Annual Food crops with improved tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses”
(Small collaborative project) SICA
• Support the development of “climate proof” food crops that better utilise agricultural areas affected by erratic rainfalls, drought and other associated stresses in the Mediterranean region
• The long-term aim will be the stabilisation of yield capacity in cultivars adapted to combinations of abiotic stresses
• Holistic approach: integrating research Agricultural systems
Husbandry practices
Plant breeding technologies
Address socio-economic aspects
KBBE-2007-1-4-03. “The farm of tomorrow ”(Small collaborative project)
• Taking account of Europe’s ecological and cultural diversity, build new models of farm material flow management
• Energy efficient cultivation with light machinery, precision farming, and robotics, considering special requirements for high value markets, such as organic agriculture/livestock production
• Integrated technologies and ICT tools are needed to make cost efficient compliance with standards (public and private) an integral part of farm operations
• The multifunctional European farming model delivering public goods needs research support to integrate, assess and quantify these services and linkage to the rural economy
KBBE-2007-1-2-07. “Coordination of Agricultural Research in the Mediterranean”
(ERANET- Coordination and support action)
• Mediterranean basin: similar problems in relation to agriculture (use and management of natural resources: soil and water, crop protection) and security and sustainability of agricultural production resulting from climate change. These issues need to be identified and addressed through a stronger scientific cooperation between the EU Members and other countries of the Mediterranean area
• IMPACT: This project is expected to help coordinate national research activities and identify common research programmes among the countries of the Mediterranean area, fight fragmentation and exploit synergies
• Call deadline: 31/07/07

Call deadline: 02/05/07
ENV.200-1-1-5-1.“Climate change impacts and adaptation strategies in water policies”
(Coordination and Support Action, CSA)
• Study European and international adaptation measures and strategies related to climate change impacts and how these are taken into account in water policies (Policy relevant topic)
• Bring together scientific &policy experiences on the existing and/or missing links between climate change & water management
• It will contribute to:– identification of research needs on climate change impacts on water
cycle and resources– development and application of methodologies for adaptation
measures to climate change– development of scenarios of water demand– potential implementation on water policies
ENV.2007.2.1.2.3. “Temporary water bodies management”
Collaborative Project (small or medium scale project)
• Their spatial extent and their temporal dynamics in semi-arid (Mediterranean) and arid climatic/hydrologic conditions
• Assessment of the role of temporary (ephemeral) water bodies in the dynamics of nutrients, toxic substances and organic matter
• Assessment and management of flood risk for temporary (ephemeral) water bodies
• The participation of Mediterranean Partner countries is encouraged

CAPACITIES – the vehicle for this coordination
Coordination of the international cooperation actions under the different programmes and across Themes
Aim : To strengthen overall coordination to ensure a coherent approach and develop synergies with other Community policies (RELEX, DEV, Trade, ENV…)
CAPACITIES – International Cooperation
Work Programme 2007-2008, 3 activities are proposed:
Bi-regional Coordination of S&T Cooperation (INCO-NET)Bi-regional Coordination of S&T Cooperation (INCO-NET)
Coordination of National INCO Policies and Activities (ERA-NET)
Coordination of National INCO Policies and Activities (ERA-NET)
Bilateral S&T Cooperation PartnershipsBilateral S&T Cooperation Partnerships
SP CAPACITIES - International Cooperation
Bi-regional Coordination of S&T cooperation (INCO-NET):
INCO-NETs are platforms bringing together policy makers and stakeholders of one target region/country with the EU to:
Area MPC FP7-INCO-2007- 1.2 based on existing bi-regional structures (eg MoCo)
Establish a dialogue to identify S&T priorities for mutual benefit and interest and define cooperation policy orientations
Implement specific activities to promote and contribute to the participation of the targeted regions/countries in the Framework Programme
CAPACITIES - International Cooperation
INCO-NET: Implementation activities
Developing, promoting, organising and structuring the participation of third countries in FP
Setting regional networks/fora with all relevant stakeholders
Training, awareness actions and dissemination activities
Evaluation and monitoring of ongoing cooperation activities
