equally represented by the EU and the INCO target
countries, participated in more than 3.000 projects in
the agriculture, health and natural resources
sectors

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
Theme 6: Environment
Calls in Activity 1 ENV-2007-1- x
• « Climate change, pollution and risks »
Calls in Activity 2 ENV-2007-2- x
« Sustainable management of resources »
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 –
International Cooperation
Coordination of the international cooperation actions
under the different programmes and across Themes
CAPACITIES – the vehicle for this coordination
Aim :
To strengthen overall coordination to ensure a coherent
approach and develop synergies with
other Community policies (RELEX, DEV, Trade, ENV…)
SP CAPACITIES International Cooperation
Work Programme 2007-2008, 3 activities are proposed:
Bi-regional Coordination of S&T Cooperation (INCO-NET)
Bilateral S&T Cooperation Partnerships
Coordination of National INCO Policies
and Activities (ERA-NET)
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

