Scope
Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: innovative AI-based solutions provide advisors, farmers and foresters with comprehensive, tailored and impartial advice to farmers and foresters to support them in their decisions as well as on the selection of innovative solutions, boosting the competitiveness, sustainability and resilience of the EU agriculture and forestry sectors; capacity and skills of advisors, farmers, and foresters related to the effective use of AI solutions are improved; use of existing and new data relevant for the decision-making for the optimized management of operations and the selection of innovative solutions on farms and in forests is increased. Scope: Digital technologies hold the potential to revolutionise farming and forestry, offering new opportunities to meet the rising demand for food, as well as biomass, while taking care of the environment, climate and people. With the growing availability of datasets relevant for both the agricultural and forestry sector, artificial intelligence technologies offer significant opportunities to harness data, enhance access to tailored information, and develop effective tools to support advisors, farmers and foresters in their operations. Successful proposals should contribute to build a competitive and resilient agriculture and forestry sectors. Proposals should: develop, test, validate and pilot cost-effective AI-based solutions that make use of the various existing reliable and trustable knowledge reservoirs and provide contextual, effective and impartial advice for advisors, farmers and foresters; capitalise on standardised and comprehensive data collected from different sources (e.g. public and private databases, in-situ data generated during the project implementation) for the development of AI-based solutions capable of providing advice based on the interpretation of multimodal inputs (e.g. text, images, audio, video etc…) provided by the end user. By doing so, successful proposals should ensure the availability of curated datasets by connecting to and harvesting data from existing public and private data sources, making use of privacy-preserving techniques when needed. The curated datasets, to be released as outputs, should be interoperable to maximise reuse, in order to support information fusion and third-party usage of the data; involve advisors, farmers and foresters from across Europe in the co-development, testing, validation and piloting of the AI-based solutions; and improve end users’ awareness, understanding, co…

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.
