Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area — Farming Systems

The Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) invites research and innovation consortia to apply for its “Farming Systems in the Nexus” calls. The program is divided into two sections: Section 1 focuses on enhancing sustainable farming within Mediterranean wetlands for conservation and coexistence, while Section 2 addresses the upscaling of agroecology practices at the farm level. Eligibility requires a consortium of at least four independent legal entities established in at least three different PRIMA participating countries, including at least one EU Member State or associated country and at least two Mediterranean Partner Countries (such as Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, or Türkiye). Section 1 projects typically receive approximately €2.7 million in EU funding for a 36-month duration, whereas Section 2 projects are supported by national funding bodies with varied amounts, often around €1.5 million per project. The deadline for pre-proposals is 15 May 2026. Farming Systems
