The European Space Agency’s Organic Best Practices & Ecosystem Preservation Kick-Start Activity offers support and funding to companies looking to develop space empowered services for the preservation of our environment.
Opening date: 07 March 2018. Closing date: 19 April 2018.
NKJ (Nordic Joint Committee for Agricultural and Food Research) makes a call for researcher networks, especially those working with digitization of agriculture.
With the PLATFORM project almost ending a final brochure has been developed showcasing the major deliverables of the PLATFORM project. You can download the brochure here.
We are proud to have run an exciting program for the conference. The presentations can be viewed from links inserted into the program.

To ensure the competitiveness of European agriculture, the EU-funded ICT-AGRI 2 project worked to enhance and improve farming’s use of ICT and robotics.
Niels Gøtke, the coordinator of ICT-AGRI, has been interviewed for an article about ICT-AGRI-2 in CORDIS.
The call aims at collecting lessons learned and recommendations of Information and Communication Technologies for agriculture initiatives and sharing them among the members and followers of the e-Agriculture Community of Practice and beyond. The selected practices will be disseminated on the e-Agriculture platform and social media and will be part of an online FAO publication on good practices on the use of ICTs for Agriculture in Europe and Central Asia.
This questionnaire aims to define the actual and future (i.e. in the next 10 years)challenges that the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT; such as precision farming, digitalisation) will encounter in order to be used in the European agriculture and food systems. The results of this questionnaire will be used to advise the orientation of EU research and projects, as well as their priority (i.e. being part of ICT-AGRI SRIA).
The projects funded by ICT-AGRI Calls in 2012 and 2014 have now ended. We have asked the projects to create their final report in this website, including a one-page facts sheet. The final reports are published in the Call and projects section when approved by ICT-AGRI.
ATHENS. The Agricultural University of Athens, Smart AKIS Coordinator, hosted on January 18th the kick-off meeting of “GATES - Applying GAming TEchnologies for training professionals in Smart Farming” project, funded by Horizon 2020.
GATES will develop a serious game-based training platform, in order to train professionals across the agricultural value chain on the use of Smart Farming Technologies (SFT), thus allowing deploying its full economic and environmental potential in European agriculture.
BRUSSELS. A consortium of 71 partners, led by Wageningen UR and other core partners of previous key projects will extend and leverage the agricultural ecosystem and architecture that was already established in earlier projects. The IoF2020 project is dedicated to accelerate adoption of "Internet of Things" (IoT) for securing sufficient, safe and healthy food to strengthen competitiveness of farming and food chains in Europe. The big project is meant to consolidate Europe’s leading position in the global IoT industry by fostering a symbiotic ecosystem of farmers, food industry, technology providers and research institutes.
