ERRIN and UnILiON are co-organising an online brokerage event on 25 November from 10:00 to 12:00. This event will bring together researchers and stakeholders from the public and private sectors to explore collaboration opportunities under 2027 Horizon Europe Cluster 6 – Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture & Environment.

The brokerage session aims to facilitate the sharing of project ideas, knowledge, and expertise among participants. It also supports partner identification for future consortia, helping researchers connect with organisations preparing proposals for upcoming Horizon Europe calls with 2027 deadlines. In addition, the event encourages cross‑sector collaboration by bringing together actors from academia, industry, and regional organisations.

The 2027 Cluster 6 calls cover a broad range of topics related to sustainable food systems, biodiversity protection, circular bioeconomy solutions, soil and water resilience, sustainable agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring. Several topics emphasise systemic approaches, nature‑based solutions, and cross‑disciplinary research integrating environmental sciences, biotechnology, agronomy, socio‑economic analysis, and digital tools. This brokerage event therefore offers an excellent opportunity for researchers working in these areas to identify partners and shape competitive proposals aligned with the strategic priorities of the 2027 work programme.
