Who Should Apply

Tips for Applicants
- ✓Consortium composition matters: ensure your three-country team is balanced and complementary in data science or agricultural expertise; weak partners sink the whole proposal.
- ✓Frame your data-driven angle clearly, AgData prioritises digital innovation and analytics, not traditional agronomic endpoints alone.
- ✓Verify SBO/FO eligibility upfront; spin-off status is a gate, and clarification from FWO before submission saves revision cycles.
