Develop practical, digital training for farmers, processors, and start-ups.

STREAMING invites organizations from Africa and Europe to apply for the Open Call for Knowledge Transfer, offering €25,000 per grant to fund in total 11 digital training projects that strengthen sustainable food trade systems.

We seek research institutions, universities, NGOs, industry partners, vocational institutions, and innovation hubs to design interactive, practice-oriented courses connecting researchers with farmers, producers, start-ups, and public health actors.

A key priority of this call is women’s empowerment. Courses should adequately target women farmers, entrepreneurs, processors, and/or innovators.

Topics of the Call

The call focuses on training for innovations in:

• Traceability in the food supply chain
• Life cycle assessment
• Nutritional requirements

Who can Apply

Eligible Third Parties include:

• Research institutions & universities
