Scope
Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Measurable improvements in the competitiveness and increased environmental sustainability of the EU’s fisheries and/or aquaculture sectors by integrating circular economy principles; Minimized and better managed waste products derived from fisheries and/or aquaculture sectors as well as improved reutilization and reduction of by-products; Reduced existing barriers preventing the implementation and development of circular principles in seafood chains, such as the cost of advanced processing technologies, regulatory hurdles, lack of collaboration across the different seafood supply chain actors or limited market demand and acceptance; Measurable socio-economic benefits for local stakeholders and communities involved in the seafood processing chain. Scope: Proposals under this topic are expected to show how activities and results will contribute to achieve Mission objective 2 - prevent and eliminate pollution of marine and freshwaters and Mission objective 3 – Sustainable, carbon-neutral and circular blue economy. The goal is to improve the competitiveness of the European seafood industry along the value chain while ensuring optimal resource use and minimising environmental impacts by applying circular economy principles to the aquaculture and/or fisheries sectors. In this topic, seafood covers marine or freshwater edible organisms, including seaweeds and algae. Projects under this topic are relevant to the Circular Economy Action Plan, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, the EU Algae Initiative, the EU Action Plan Towards Zero Pollution, the European Ocean Pact and the Mission objective of making the blue economy sustainable. The circular approach in seafood supply chain can be applied by the reduction and better management of waste products and/or by improving the valorisation of fisheries and aquaculture by-products which can be used as input for other industries. The aquaculture sector can also explore more sustainable and circular practices as following the example of the Integral Multi-tropic Aquaculture (IMTA) or the diversification to lower trophic species. Another example is the use of innovative organic feed from fisheries bycatch, agriculture products or low-trophic species, as alternatives to traditional fish meal and fish oil, which will reduce dependency on wild fish stocks. Proposals under this topic should test and demonstrate the technical feasibility, the economic viability and the effectiveness of innovative solutions that improve the circulari…

The mix of organisations
Who coordinated them
Coordinating an EU project is a demanding, specific job. These organisations have done it on this topic line before.
This is the shape, not the consortium. It says how many partners these projects had and what kinds of organisation were in them. It does not know whether your idea needs the same mix, who is available, who is already committed elsewhere, or how the work and the budget should be divided. Those are judgement calls on a specific proposal, and no amount of public data answers them.
Building the actual consortium — finding the partners, agreeing the roles, and writing it so it survives an evaluation — is what Scientific Network Management does. Free either way; the radar does not change if you never ask.
Get told when something changes
Most institutions find out about a call with three weeks left. We write when something opens, moves or closes that fits what you work on, with the deadline, the fit and the funder's own exclusion clauses quoted. Nothing in a quiet week. Free, and one click to leave.
Starting from the programme you are reading: Horizon Europe (HORIZON) — change it below if you like.
Leave the second box empty and you get whatever opened or changed recently, closing soonest. Fill it in and it ranks against your words instead: that is the difference between a list and a shortlist.
Scientific Network Management will send you the current list for these terms, and after that only what changes: a call that opens, a deadline that shifts, a clause that rules you out. Nothing is sent when nothing has moved. One click to stop, in every message.
One confirmation email and nothing else until you click it. No tracking pixels, no sharing, one click to unsubscribe.
Of every 100 Horizon Europe proposals
A funding strategy reads your institution's own published record against the calls that are open, and says in writing which are worth the year and which to decline, with the reason for each.

SNM also does
No obligation, and nothing here is conditional on using us: searching the calls stays free and asks for nothing either way.
