The STREAMING Project — Sustainable Trade Regimes with Europe and Africa through Mapping Innovation, New-technology and Growth-mindset — has launched an Open Call for Knowledge Transfer Grants to support the development of digital training materials that strengthen sustainable food value chains across Africa and Europe. Funded under Horizon Europe, this initiative aims to bridge research and practice by enabling organisations to create interactive, practice-oriented courses that connect researchers with farmers, processors, start-ups and other food system actors.
A total budget of €275,000 is available, with grants of up to €25,000 per project and funding covering course development over 8–12 months. Priority topics include traceability in food supply chains; sustainable farming systems; nutrition and micronutrient deficiency reduction; food safety; food waste reduction; and scaling innovations for resilient food systems. At least 60% of funding will support organisations based in African countries, and women-led entities and female innovators are strongly encouraged to apply.
Eligible applicants include research institutions, universities, NGOs, industry partners, innovation hubs and vocational institutions from Africa and Europe. Proposals must be submitted by 2 March 2026 (23:59 CET) following the guidance and templates provided in the Open Call Kit available on the STREAMING website.
