The Council of Ministers approved yesterday the new call STRATEGIC LINES PROJECTS, aimed at funding industrial research projects in collaboration between companies and research organizations. The call will allocate 64.5 million euros in subsidies and 43 million euros in credits to projects in 23 strategic lines.
From BIOVEGEN we have prepared a report that describes the main characteristics of the call. Of particular interest to our sector is line 2 (Sustainable improvement of plant productivity: development of innovative phytosanitary programs and products).
