In case of application oriented proposals, applications should include a detailed dissemination plan specifying how project findings will benefit the community, e.g., through incorporation into products and services.
Inter- and multidisciplinary research teams and linkages to industrial partners (end-users) are highly encouraged.
Project duration is 36 months.
