Advancing Research and Innovation in Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment with Horizon Europe

Horizon Europe will foster Research and Innovation in one of the most critical challenges of our time: feeding and keeping healthy the growing global population while preserving the natural resources of our planet and empowering local populations with new tools to improve their work and lives. To do so, the way we produce, transform, distribute and consume food has to change with the integration of technologies and knowledge from non-traditional fields. If you work in Big Data, Computational Biology, Artificial Intelligence, Photonics, Robotics, Biotechnologies, Materials Science, Economics join this session and discover how your skills can help solving this global challenge - and how to get funded for it!
