Integrated ICT and automation for sustainable agricultural production

Basic Information

The aim of this joint call is to enable joint transnational research projects based on complementarities and sharing of expertise within ICT and Robotics in Agriculture. Projects are expected to apply a systems approach addressing farm level integration of information technology, communication technology, automation and robotics. Projects must have a clear European added value by being carried out on a transnational level. Projects may be in one of two categories: - A broad approach by combining existing or new software and hardware products to demonstrate a system meeting important challenges within a specific application area - A narrow approach by focusing on specific elements of vital importance for the functioning of integrated systems.
