EIP-AGRI H2020
Context • The establishment of European Innovation Partnerships (EIPs) in different sectors represents a new approach under the Europe 2020 Strategy to speed up innovation. • The Europe 2020 Flagship Initiative "Innovation Union" specifies European Innovation Partnerships (EIP) as a new tool for fostering innovation through linking existing policies and instruments • EIPs should provide favourable conditions for research and innovation partners to co-operate and achieve better and faster results compared to existing approaches
Approach Linear Innovation Interactive Innovation
Key actors: Operational Groups • Action- and result-oriented "hands-on" groups • Built around concrete innovation projects, developing and testing innovative solutions • Established on the initiative of innovation actors such as farmers, foresters, scientists, advisors, agri-business, and NGOs • Combining competencies (practical and scientific), needed for the implementation of a certain project • Obligation to disseminate results at EU level
Funding: Rural Development Programmes • Setting up support for an Operational Group project • Operational Group project funding • Innovation support services
EIP-AGRI & H2020 • Multi-actor approach • Thematic Networks
EIP Network (Focus Group on Precision Farming)
SC2 WP 2016-2017 • SFS-5-2017.- Robotics Advances for Precision Farming: focus on the design, development and testing of robotics systems for precision farming, including autonomous or semi-autonomous farm vehicles or sophisticated sensors and intervention mechanisms (RIA, 7 million euro). • SFS-6-2016.- Strategies, tools and technologies for sustainable weed management: Alternatives strategies are needed that will limit or eliminate the use of herbicides, manage herbicide resistance and enhance carbon stocks. Approaches ranging from prevention strategies, including crop diversification and biological control, to precision farming and automated selective mechanical engineering (e.g. Weeding robots) could be developed in an integrated approach (RIA, 7 million euro). • RUR-10-2016/2017: Thematic Networks compiling knowledge ready for practice: It is a bottom –up topic where proposals dealing with the use of precision farming/new technologies can be submitted (CSA, 20 million euro).
Pilot 1: Smart living
environments for
ageing well (EU contr.
WP 2016-2017 up to 20 MEUR)
IoT Focus Area
Pilot 2: Smart Farming
and Food Security (EU
contr. up to 30 MEUR)
Pilot 3: Wearables for
IoT-1-2016: Large
smart ecosystems (EU
Scale Pilots (IA)
contr. up to 15 MEUR)
Pilot 4: Reference
IoT-2-2016: Horizontal
IoT Focus Area zones in EU cities (EU
activities (CSA)
contr. up to 15MEUR)
Pilot 5: Autonomous
IoT-3-2016: R&I on
vehicles in a connected
integration and
environment (EU contr.
platforms (RIA)
up to 20 MEUR)The introduction of the IoT scenario
Internet of Things would allow to monitor and control
plant and animal products from farm
to fork.
The challenge is to design IoT
architectures to “program” or track
each object for optimal behavior,
according to its role in the agro-food
chain, contributing to meet the
challenges that the sector is facing in
terms of productivity and
sustainability.Expected impact
• Validation, sustainability and replicability, of architectures, standards, interoperability
properties, of key characteristics such as security and privacy.
• New industry and business processes and innovative business models.
• User acceptance validation addressing privacy, security, vulnerability, liability.
• Significant and measureable contribution to standards or pre-normative activities.
• Improvement of citizens' quality of life, in the public and private spheres, in terms of
autonomy, convenience and comfort, participatory approaches, health and lifestyle,
and access to services.
• Creation of opportunities for entrepreneurs, expanding local businesses to European
scale, etc.
• Development of secure and sustainable European IoT ecosystems and contribution to
IoT infrastructures viable beyond the duration of the Pilot.Proposals should include:
• Combination of different farms to ensure that the deployment of the
technology is adapted to the needs of different types and sizes of farms
across Europe.
• Activities should allow for a wide geographic coverage within Europe and
benefit both conventional and organic agro-food chains.
• At least three sub-sectors (e.g.- arable crops, livestock, vegetable and
fruit production).
Proposals should fall under the concept of multi-actor approach
