Summary
Agricultural RTD is important for global food security and environmental sustainability.
The isUP-AgrO proposal aims to enhance the capability of the Research Centre ISOPlexis, located in Madeira, an outermost region of Portugal, to be a leading research center at the EU level in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Technology.
ISOPlexis participates with high success in national research projects and programs participates in the Network of Genetic Banks FAO, AEGIS, and ECPGR programs, and plays a leading role in the implementation of the Regional Smart Specialization strategy priority domain for Agriculture, Food, and Bioeconomy, and its goals. However, it has not been able to reach a visible position at the European level. It is now the right moment to increase the centre´s internationalization, allowing it to participate in joint international consortiums and research projects.
The isUP-AgrO proposal joins two research centres from Spain (INRA - CSIC), Italy (UNIPR), and a Portuguese innovation company (Saturntech) with the common goal of improving the research and coordination activities of the ISOPlexis - Centre of Sustainable Agriculture and Food Technology.
The isUP-AgrO will offer training for young/senior scientists, develop administrative/research management skills, and foster networking through joint research, expert visits, training schools, staff exchanges, workshops, and conference attendance. The isUP-AgrO overall methodology is based on new approaches and strategies to study and improve the sustainability of the Food Production System, in this case, in the traditional vineyards of Madeira.
The isUP-AgrO strives for research excellence and extensive networking to elevate the ISOPlexis Centre (University of Madeira) to be an EU reference in this field. Success will be measured by local and international network strength, training outcomes, staff exchanges, higher participation in ERA, and more coordination roles in EU projects.
