SARIC THIRD CALL: £1.5M AVAILABLE FROM BBSRC AND NERC TO SUPPORT
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
BBSRC and NERC invite applications to attend an interactive strategic
workshop (Sandpit) to develop proposals for research and research
translation projects. Successful projects will bring together
multidisciplinary teams to address challenges facing the sustainable
intensification of agriculture in the UK.
The projects will be supported through the Sustainable Agriculture
Research and Innovation Club (SARIC) which funds projects within the
themes of:
- RESILIENT AND ROBUST CROP AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
- PREDICTIVE CAPABILITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE.
The Sandpit will commence with presentations from the industrial members
of SARIC to stimulate the development of project ideas. Sandpit
participants will develop and present a project idea in a
multidisciplinary team to an expert panel on the final day of the
Sandpit. Full proposals will be invited for submission through Je-S in
November 2017. Reasonable costs for travel and accommodation will be met
for participants.
