Transnational call for proposals on Animal Health and Welfare through the ERA-NET ANIHWA

The ANR is associated to the ERA-NET ANIHWA to launch a third transnational call for funding research on animal health and welfare of farm animals, including fish and bees. This programme is a continuation of ERA-NET EMIDA.

Sixteen countries are participating in this call for proposals: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.

Research Consortia are invited to submit pre-proposals related to the three following topics:

Included animals of all three topics are cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, horses, fish, bees and minor species like rabbits.

Please note that not all participating countries fund all topics – please refer to the call text for more detail. France will fund all four topics with no priorities.

Each project proposal (pre- and full proposal) must involve a minimum of three and a maximum of eight partners from at least three and a maximum of eight different participating countries. Consortium members from non-participating countries are welcome, but with own secured resources. Proposals tendered with support (financial or in kind) from industry, or other non-ANIHWA funding bodies are encouraged.

Funding will be awarded for a maximum of three years. The ANR will fund only the French partners in the selected projects.
