The AGROECOLOGY call office wishes to thank all applicants for the submission of their pre proposals in response to the 3^rd co-funded call of the AGROECOLOGY Partnership.

A total of 89 pre-proposals were submitted to this call. Unfortunately 10 had to be rejected due to ineligibility. The remaining 79 were evaluated by a panel of international experts using the criteria set out in the Call Announcement. Based on the outcome of this assessment and the available funding, 39 consortia are now being invited to submit a full proposal.

Please note that only the coordinator can carry out and complete the pre proposal submission on behalf of each applying research consortium. However, each partner needs to complete his/her part of the partner profile.

For all partners of an applying consortium, it is strongly recommended to contact their respective funder contact point to clarify any questions well in advance of the submission. The contact details can be found in Annex IX (see CALL DOCUMENTS).
