Funding Projects contributing to sustainable use of natural resources, economic growth and stability in the Mediterranean.
The Partnership for Research and Innovation (PRIMA) pursues inclusive, healthy and prosperous Mediterranean societies through innovative solutions in agro-food and water systems, contributing, by the end of the programme, to sustainable use of natural resources, economic growth and stability.
As part of the agenda to achieve this vision, PRIMA is strengthening research and innovation funding capacities and of the implementation capabilities of all actors involved including SMEs, academia, non-governmental organisations and local research centres.
PRIMA focusses on Water Management, Farming Systems and the Agri-Food value chain as well as related Nexus challenges and solutions.
PRIMA funds Research and Innovation projects through re-occuring calls for proposals.
Furthermore, PRIMA implements a WEFE Nexus Award that recognizes “research teams and practitioners” that have devised and demonstrated the successful implementation on the ground of combined management practices of water, energy, food and ecosystem resources in the Mediterranean, at local, sub Regional and or regional level.
