Webinar «CDTI AGRICULTURE MISSION: Financing for agrobiotech consortia»

The Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI-EPE) launches the Call SCIENCE AND INNOVATION MISSIONS 2022, to support cooperative precompetitive research projects led by companies. MISSIONS CDTI is equipped with 125 million euros and supports with high aid intensities (up to 80% subsidy) cooperative precompetitive research projects led by companies. Of the 6 proposed areas of action, the MISSION 3:

“Promote a more sustainable agri-food sector adapted to the new conditions associated with climate change thanks to the relevant use of advanced biotechnological tools”

Given the interest that this call has for the agrobiotechnology sector (both at a thematic and financing level), BIOVEGEN and CDTI organize this webinar (Thursday, July 7 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:40 p.m.), to report on the main characteristics of MISSIONS, polish proposals, resolve doubts and present entities interested in participating in the call.
