Hei,  

tällä kertaa rahoituskirjeessä on hyvinkin erilaiseen toimintaan tarkoitettuja rahoitushakuja.

Jos tiedät mahdollisia kiinnostavia rahoituslähteitä järjestöille, niin laitatko tietoa niistä minulle, Kiitos!

Rahoitusneuvonta on edelleen mahdollista ja voit varata minulta ajan siihen. Meillä on pääsy pariin rahoitustahojen hakukoneeseen ja voimme yhdessä tutkaille juuri järjestöllenne sopivia rahoitusmahdollisuuksia. Tällä hetkellä tämä neuvonta tapahtuu etäyhteyden (zoom tai teams) avulla.

Ystävällisin terveisin,

Helena

-European Commission: Invitation Open for Smart Solutions for the Use of Digital Technologies

Deadline: 15-Feb-2022

Grant Size: $500,000 to $1 million

Scope

• Despite the potential of digital technologies to increase the economic and environmental performance of the agricultural sector, there is still need to increase the uptake of precision farming tools, particularly among small- and medium-sized farms. An increase in the digital divide between small and large farms is to be avoided.
• While one main reason for this circumstance is – as for many investments in agricultural equipment – investments in digital technologies frequently only become cost-effective, if a critical mass of production volume is given. In addition, small- and medium-sized farms and farms structures have in some areas specific needs and strengths, because of e.g. a small average parcel seize, which should be considered in the development of digital solutions for the sector.
• Proposals should cover all of the following aspects:
• Development and piloting of cost-effective digital solutions for small- and medium-sized farms and farm structures for at least grass land and arable crops under representative consideration of the diverse environmental, climatic and socio-economic conditions across the EU and Associated Countries.
• Development of business and/ or governance models facilitating the roll-out of the piloted innovation at larger scale in several countries; if relevant, models may not only consider financing the purchase of the digital solutions but also the establishment of other framing conditions or propose public intervention (e.g. data provision) or public-private partnerships or cooperative (digital) service provision and taking.

-European Commission: Action Grants for Developing a Pilot Project

Deadline: 25-Jan-2022

Grant Size: More than $1 million

European Commission is calling for proposals for Action grants for developing a pilot project for an EU infrastructure ecosystem for the secondary use of health data for research, innovation, policy-making, and regulatory purposes.

The EU cross-border provisions and means to access to health data is fragmented which makes particularly difficult the reuse health data collected during healthcare. There is a need to incentivise and fund a pilot project on EU-wide reuse of health data, taking advantage of national authorities’ legal basis and capabilities to facilitate access to health data sources through common rules, means and procedures.

Objectives

• This consortium will design, develop, deploy and operate a network of nodes (representing different data brokers, holders and data consumers) federated by central services that may be provided by the European Commission.
• This pilot will investigate and establish the value of an infrastructure and data ecosystem for the reuse of health data and assess the ability to scale towards a Union-wide infrastructure, as a core component of the European Health Data Space.

Funding Information

• Available budget for this topic: EUR 5 000 000
• Proposals to be awarded under this topic: One single proposal
• The duration of proposals should range between 12 and 24 months
