Last Tuesday, December 13, the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI) gathered the main Spanish Technological Platforms to present, in a first dissemination event, the Public-Private Collaboration Projects Call 2022, set for imminent publication. This initiative is part of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical, and Innovation Research 2021-2023 and has a total budget of €260 million: €110 million in grants and €150 million in loans. This call is framed within the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, so the grant funds come from the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism of the Next Generation European funds.
Given the importance of this call for the agri-food sector, BIOVEGEN has prepared a report summarizing the key aspects of the call, with the aim of supporting and facilitating the formation of proposals and consortia.
