Pump-prime funding call #2: list of projects
Pump-prime funding call #2: list of projects
Here you can read a series of short articles about all 11 awards resulting from the second CONNECTED pump-prime funding call.
There are 11 projects, involving 10 crops, with work being undertaken in 24 institutions in 11 countries.
Each article provides an outline of the project scope, and the institutions and people involved.
Amongst CONNECTED’s key objectives is enabling members to successfully apply for research funding. So we provide pump-prime funding (PPF) for a wide range of short-term research projects. The aim is that these can be used as the basis for future larger-scale funding applications.
This was the second of two funding awards during the CONNECTED project lifetime, and you can read details of the first round of awards using this link.
