Objective Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) plays a critical role in fighting poverty and hunger and in supporting more rapid and sustainable development in the poorest countries of the world. Most developing countries rely on agriculture as the engine for their economic growth, and more than 70% of the poor live in rural areas. In Europe, agriculture and food chains are increasingly confronted with challenges such as food safety, animal health and welfare, agro-biodiversity which clearly have a global dime nsion. For historical, socio-economic and cultural reasons, European Member States have developed a unique field-based scientific expertise in ARD, and support ARD directly or indirectly through their bilateral and multilateral programmes. With the Europe an Commission, the Member States also contribute to the funding of the international agricultural research centres of the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), providing more than 140 million euros per year. The European Commi ssion also supports ARD through its development assistance programmes, and under the international dimension of the 6' RTD Framework Programme. In Member States, the responsibility for ARD programme planning and funding is often dispersed and shared betwee n different ministries, public institutions and/or foundations. This means that there are substantial potential efficiency gains from enhanced cooperation and coordination. This project fulfils an urgent need to better understand how ARD programmes are ide ntified, selected, designed, funded and managed at the national level. These mapping exercises will facilitate the construction of a shared vision and a strategic agenda on ARD in Europe. Innovative approaches and institutional arrangements will then be ex plored and used to implement joint and, during the second half of the project, transnational ARD activities.#' Fields of science engineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyfood safetyagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculture Programme(s) FP6-COORDINATION - Support for the coordination of activities: specific programme strengthening the foundations of the European Research Area under the Sixth Framework Programme 2002-2006 (FP6) Topic(s) COOR-1 - Coordination of national activities Call for proposal ERA-NET/1/CA-SSA See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CA - Coordination action Coordinator CENTRE DE COOPÉRATION INTERNATIONALE EN RECHERCHE AGRONOMIQUE POUR LE DÉVELOPPEMENT - AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Address 42 rue scheffer Paris France See on map Links Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 0,00 Participants (14) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, NATURE AND FOOD QUALITY Netherlands EU contribution € 0,00 Address Bezuidenhoutseweg 73 Den haag See on map Links Website Opens in new window FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS / SWISS AGENCY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND COOPERATION Switzerland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Bundeshaus west Bern See on map Links Website Opens in new window DANISH MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT POLICIES Denmark EU contribution € 0,00 Address Asiatisk plads 2 Copenhagen See on map Links Website Opens in new window FEDERALE OVERHEIDSDIENST BUITENLANDSE ZAKEN, BUITENLANDSE HANDEL EN ON TWIKKELIINGSSAMENWERKING - FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE FOREIGN AFFAIRS Belgium EU contribution € 0,00 Address Egmont - karmelietenstraat 15 Brussels See on map Links Website Opens in new window MINISTERSTWO ROLNICTWA I ROZWOJU WSI - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT Poland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Wspolna 30 Warsaw See on map Links Website Opens in new window MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS - DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION Italy EU contribution € 0,00 Address P.le della farnesina, 1 Roma See on map Links Website Opens in new window MINISTRY OF HIGHER EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA Slovenia EU contribution € 0,00 Address Kotnikova 38 Ljubljana See on map Links Website Opens in new window INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE INVESTIGACION Y TECNOLOGIA AGRARIA Y ALIMENTARIA - NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FOOD RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY Spain EU contribution € 0,00 Address Ctra. de la coruna km. 7,5 Madrid See on map Links Website Opens in new window LIETUVOS RESPUBLIKOS ZEMES UKIO MINISTERIJA - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE OF THE REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA Lithuania EU contribution € 0,00 Address Gedimino av. 19 (levélis street 6) Vilnius See on map Links Website Opens in new window UNITED KINGDOM DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT United Kingdom EU contribution € 0,00 Address 1 palace street London See on map Links Website Opens in new window BUNDESMINISTERIUM FÜR ERNAHRUNG, LANDWIRTSCHAFT UND VERBRAUCHERSCHUTZ - FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FOOD, AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION Germany EU contribution € 0,00 Address Rochusstrasse 1 Bonn See on map Links Website Opens in new window BUNDESMINISTERIUM FÜR LAND- U FORSTWIRTSCHAFT, UMWELT U WASSERWIRTSCHAFT - FEDERAL MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, ENVIRONMENT AND WATER MANAGEMENT Austria EU contribution € 0,00 Address Stubenring 1 Vienna See on map Links Website Opens in new window FÖLDMÜVELÉSÜGYI ÉS VIDÉKFEJLESZTÉSI MINISZTÉRIUM - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT Hungary EU contribution € 0,00 Address Kossuth lajos tér 11.
