First external call of EJP SOIL is open
The first external call of the European Joint Programme ‘EJP SOIL - 'Towards climate-smart sustainable management of agricultural soils’, is open for research proposals. The objective of this call is to ‘foster holistic agricultural soil management practices which will assist in making a shift to diversify farming to include a variety of sustainable and environmental practices’. Research consortia can apply to one of the following three topics:
Understanding SOC sequestration (stabilization, storage and persistence)
- Soil biodiversity: status, and role in ecosystem services provided by soils
- Site-specific or landscape-scale approaches to improve sustainability, resilience, health, and productivity of soils.
Funding organizations from 18 countries as well as the global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases will be joining resources that facilitate the research within this call. Research partners from countries where there is no participation of funding organization can participate in research consortia if they bring in their own funding. The deadline for pre-registration is the 25th of June. The deadline for the full proposal submission is the 7th of September.
A webinar will be organised on the 25th of May for all interested applicants.
More information about the call can be found at the EJP SOIL website.
