Goals of the Project
• Stabilise and increase the use of rye and rye
products
• Feed the world with quality food and adapt to
climate change
• Keep the world a diverse place
• Value the cultural heritage and support tourism
• Let people know
The European Union funding COHESION and related funds
COHESION POLICY
Regional Policy
• European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
• Cohesion Fund (CF)
Social Policy
• European Social Fund (ECF)
OTHER POLICIES RELATED TO COHESION
Common Agricultural Policy
• European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)
Common Fisheries Policy
• European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF)
The European Regional Development
Fund (ERDF)
The ERDF is the main regional policy instrument; it is
intended to reduce regional imbalances.
It has three main objectives for the period 2007–13:
convergence, regional competitiveness and employment
and European territorial cooperation.
The European Territorial Cooperation will strengthen crossborder cooperation through joint local and regional
initiatives, trans-national cooperation aiming at integrated
territorial development, and interregional cooperation and
exchange of experience (INTERREG IVC).
INTERREG IVC
INTERREG IVC provides funding for interregional cooperation
across Europe and financed through the ERDF. The Operational
Programme was approved in September 2007 and the period for
INTERREG IVC will last from 2007-2013.
The overall objective is to improve the effectiveness of regional
policies and instruments. The exchange, sharing and transfer of
policy experience, knowledge and good practices will contribute
to achieving this objectives.
The areas of support are innovation and the knowledge economy
and environment and risk prevention.
INTERREG IVC
+ The eligible cooperation area
covers almost entirely Rye-Belt
countries
+ Virtually all research and
innovation actors (enterprises,
universities, technology transfer
bodies etc) can apply
-Topics directly related to
agricultural issues will be
considered as not eligible
-As the programming period is
ending, there isn’t available
resources
The European Regional Development
Fund (ERDF) 2014-2020
The ERDF supports:
• Productive investment, which contributes to creating and safeguarding
sustainable jobs, through direct aid to investment in small and
medium-sized enterprises;
• Investments in infrastructure providing basic services to citizens in the
area of energy, environment, transport, and information and
communication technologies;
• Investments in social, health and educational infrastructure;
• Development of endogenous potential by supporting regional and local
development and research and innovation;
• Technical assistance
Joint Action plan from 2014
Results based approach for specific targets
Group of projects implemented by defined
beneficiary
Can have multiple sources of financing – ERDF +
ESF
Purpose is integration
No infrastructure projects
7th Framework Programme for Research,
Technological Development and
Demonstration Activities (FP7)
The FP7 lasts from 2007 until 2013.
The budget will be spent on grants to research actors of the
European Union and with partners from outside Europe cofinancing research, technological development and
demonstration projects.
Grants are determined on the basis of calls for proposals and a
peer review process, which is highly competitive. Thus, a
key characteristic of FP7, and one that differentiates it
from the Structural Funds, is that there are no fixed
national or regional allocations.
Cooperation programme –
the core of FP7
The core of FP7 and its largest component by far, the Cooperation
programme fosters collaborative research across Europe and other
partner countries in a number of key thematic areas.
These themes are health; food, agriculture and fisheries; biotechnology;
information and communication technologies; nano-science,
nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies; energy;
environment (including climate change); transport; socio-economic
sciences and the humanities; space and security.
Participation in FP7 is open to a wide range of research entities –
universities, research centres, multinational corporations, SMEs, public
administrations, funding bodies etc.
As a general principle, FP7 is open to participation from any country in
the world.
FP7 Cooperation Work Programme 2012: Food,
Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnologies
Calls of proposals:
Activity 1: Sustainable production and management of
biological resources from land, forests and aquatic
environment
Activity 2: Fork to farm: Food (including seafood), health and
well being
Activity 3: Life sciences, biotechnology and biochemistry for
sustainable non-food products and processes
11 Thematic Objectives to
Deliver EU 2020
•
Strengthening research, technological development and innovation
•
Enhancing access to, and use and quality of, information and communication
technologies
Enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, the agricultural
sector (for the EAFRD) and the fisheries and aquaculture sector (for the EMFF)
Supporting the shift towards a low-carbon economy in all sectors
Promoting climate change adaptation, risk prevention and management
Protecting the environment and promoting resource efficiency
Promoting sustainable transport and removing bottlenecks in key network
infrastructures
Promoting employment and supporting labour mobility (mainly ESF)
Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty (mainly ESF)
Investing in education, skills and lifelong learning (mainly ESF)
Institutional capacity and efficient public administration (mainly ESF)

Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations
The Programme of Work and Budget 2012-13 by
Strategic Objectives for Europe and Central Asia:
A – Sustainable intensification of crop production (1 169 000
USD)

•
EU promotion programmes – open only to EU
member states: organic cereals (inner market
only), processed rye products (in 3rd countries)
Rural development programm – not much
interest shown for multilateral projects
