In cooperation with the top sectors Agri & Food, Horticulture & Raw Materials and Water & Maritime TKI Dinalog is making a joint call for PPP projects that flesh out the Kennis- en Innovatieagenda Landbouw, Water, Voedsel. The new projects will start in 2025. The budget available for the entire call is around €12.8 million per year.
The call is for research projects in which companies, industry associations, NGOs and public organisations collaborate with research organisations. The projects are carried out as public-private partnerships (PPPs). In addition to four top sectors mentioned, the top sector Life Sciences & Health and top sector ICT are also participating.
Agriculture, Water, Food
The Netherlands is a leading knowledge country in many agricultural, water and food themes. Innovation is important to maintain this position and to meet the societal challenges in areas such as food production, biodiversity, climate change, circular agriculture and water quality. The Knowledge and Innovation Agenda for Agriculture, Water, Food gives direction to this by means of six missions and two key technologies. A PPP project answers one or more knowledge and innovation missions in this agenda.
Budget
Around €12.8 million (excl. VAT) in funding is available for research in 2025. Two thirds of this concerns contributions from LNV and I&W in the form of capacity at Wageningen Research and other TO2 institutes. The remainder concerns PPP subsidies made available by the TKIs, which can also be used with other knowledge suppliers. New this year is that SMEs can also apply for funding in part of the funding made available.
Indienen
Project proposals can be submitted until 2 September. Please use the 2025 formats for both proposal and budget. From mid-June, the opportunity to submit proposals will be visible on this page.
