Fellowships: OECD Co-operative Research Programme (CRP)

Deadline: Thursday, September 10, CEST

The OECD Co-operative Research Programme (CRP) offers two streams of funding to researchers in participating countries:   Individual Research Travel Fellowships, and Events (Conferences, Workshops, Symposiums).  The CRP currently has 33 participating countries(now including Brazil and Ukraine).  Travel Fellowships provide transportation and subsistence funding from 6-26 weeks in any other member country.  Event sponsorship funds international events to inform policy makers, industry, and the academic world about innovative research, scientific developments, and new opportunities.   Research topics supported by the CEST include:

• Sustainable and resilient productivity growth and food security and nutrition
• Climate risks, reducing emissions from agriculture and food systems, carbon sequestration in agriculture, forestry and land use
• Halting and reversing forest loss and land degradation
• Reducing the negative environmental impacts of livestock production and practices harmful to animal health and welfare, investigating the positive contribution livestock can make to soil quality and management, biodiversity and livelihoods
• Biodiversity, enhancing ecosystem services
• Improving soil health and water and air quality, including through agro-ecological and other innovative, context specific approaches
• Innovations in the transfer and development of agricultural knowledge, including Indigenous and traditional knowledge
• Fisheries and aquaculture productivity, sustainability and resilience
