As the global population continues to grow, our food systems are increasingly under pressure. Therefore, it is more important than ever to share our knowledge about agriculture, forestry, and fisheries and ensure continued innovation in these fields. The CRP works to strengthen research in these areas and ensure that relevant scientific information on the sustainable use of natural resources in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries is communicated to policymakers.

The DFF | Technology and Production Sciences contributes to this collaboration, and Danish researchers therefore have the opportunity to apply for support for the fellowship, the 'Research Fellowship Award’, as well as support for international events.

Applications can be submitted within three main themes:

  • Managing Natural Capital
  • Strengthening Resilience in the Face of Multiple Risks in a Connected World
  • Transformational Technologies and Innovation.

Research Fellowship Award

This fellowship is aimed at researchers who wish to conduct research projects lasting between 6 and 26 weeks abroad in one of the CRP member countries within agriculture, forestry, or fisheries. The purpose is to strengthen the international exchange of ideas and mobility among researchers.

The application deadline for the Research Fellowship Award is Tuesday, September 10th, 2024.

Event Sponsorship

The CRP funds events in the form of conferences, workshops, and similar activities within agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. The event must take place in one of the CRP member countries and aim to share knowledge about the field to the industry and policymakers and ensure scientific development in the area.

The application deadline for Event Sponsorship is Tuesday, September 10th, 2024.

You can find further information about the application process and criteria on OECD’s website.
