Our concern would be the following two topics:

Topic 2 - Data-based solutions for sustainable agriculture intended to strengthen capacities to adapt to climate change, enhancing functionality, performance assessment and decision making.
Topic 3 - Data-based solutions for policy-making to provide reliable indicators that reflect effects of policies, in particular the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and development of tools to strengthen policy performance assessment, by means of data gathering and analytical capabilities.

The main focus would be: Data-Driven Modelling for Sustainable Agriculture and CAP Performance Assessment, and similar, introduced recently: Integrating HOLOSEU/MODASYS (Open-source, wider application across agricultural ecosystems, from land parcel through landscape to regional levels) for Enhanced Climate Resilience and Policy Evaluation.

Partners required: Germany, Netherlands, Romania, Latvia and Estonia

University College Dublin (UCD) is Ireland’s largest university (Global ranking 118th) and a leading centre for research and innovation. Its School of Agriculture and Food Science is internationally recognised for expertise across agricultural, environmental and food systems. The Agricultural System Modelling group integrates biophysical, environmental and economic modelling to support sustainable agriculture and policy development. UCD hosts advanced computing resources, analytical laboratories, experimental farms and strong administrative structures, enabling coordination of large EU and international research projects. Its extensive global partnerships and experience in multidisciplinary consortia position the School as a capable leader for complex, collaborative agricultural systems research.
