Applicants will be able to request access to services from a single Research Infrastructure.
AgroServ enables researchers from academia and industry and all practitioners who are interested in doing research in agroecology to access installations and services across Europe, with a Catalogue of services provided by the 11 Research Infrastructures within AgroServ. The focus is on supporting research in sustainable and resilient agriculture, emphasizing the ‘one health’ approach.
While it will be now possible to tailor applications to focus on specific services within one Research Infrastructure – if that best suits your research goals – projects must still clearly demonstrate their contribution to the agroecology transition.
As single-RI applications become eligible, AgroServ remains dedicated to integrating services across Europe. Therefore, transdisciplinary projects involving multiple RIs will continue to be encouraged.
Users must still clearly justify their project’s relevance to the agroecology transition.
Although single-RI applications are now eligible, AgroServ’s mission is to foster integrated, interdisciplinary science. Therefore:
-
Applications involving multiple RIs (integrated access) are still strongly encouraged.
-
Transdisciplinary research (e.g., combining soil science with socio-economics or digital phenotyping) will be prioritized during the evaluation process and will receive higher scoring in the “Impact” and “Excellence” categories.
Important: applicants who demonstrate no interactions with the facility managers will be rejected (e.g. wrong facility manager name in the application, no description of the feasibility assessment, wrong service or location)
