Generate INDUSTRY DRIVEN research projects IN THE FOOD SECTOR

The growing level of resources and political commitments to RTD lies in the value of the contribution that public and private research makes to Europe’s economic, social and environmental goals.

EUREKA has followed this approach, and all its strategic initiatives have been focused on areas of ‘grand challenges’. Nowadays, when this is even more at the heart of European innovation strategy, EUREKA increasingly contributes to addressing challenges Europe is facing today by using and adapting its own instruments.

EUREKA puts the collaborations with the European Technology Platforms into the focus for addressing grand challenges and generating new projects. Objectives of this activities:

• Retain the pro-active approach of EUREKA
• Focus on technological areas of ‘grand challenges’ related to food in multidisciplinary areas
• Methodological development of project generation
• Keep the EUREKA Clusters and Umbrellas in the forefront
