HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-CLIMATE-02: Wheat supply-chain shock analysis between the Black Sea and the EU, with policy validation (TAGEM, Türkiye)

The AI and Agricultural Technologies Research Center of TAGEM, the research directorate of Türkiye's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, would like to join a CLIMATE-02 consortium in Area A (agri-food chains). We can lead a case study or a task on validation.

Türkiye buys wheat from the Black Sea region, mills it and exports flour, and it borders the EU. It is a good place to study whether trade amplifies or buffers a shock. We work on regional wheat price dynamics, bilateral trade models and the 2022 Black Sea supply shock, and we are building a model of the Turkish wheat chain that can be used to test the consortium's shock propagation approach on a market outside the EU.

We also produce daily news-based indicators of policy and geopolitical uncertainty with language models run on national HPC. These can feed early warning work.

With the Ministry we can organise validation workshops with millers, traders and policy staff, and report whether the proposed instruments are usable for public authorities.

We are looking for a coordinator, systemic risk and supply-chain researchers and policy evaluation teams.
