HORIZON-CL6-2027-03-GOVERNANCE-07: National agricultural R&I programme owner from Türkiye for SCAR support, with AI tools for portfolio analysis (TAGEM)

TAGEM, the research directorate of Türkiye's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, would like to join a GOVERNANCE-07 consortium. TAGEM sets the national agricultural R&D priorities and funds and supervises research in 49 institutes, so it is a national programme owner of the kind that the SCAR working groups bring together. The contact point for this offer is TAGEM's Artificial Intelligence and Agricultural Technologies Research Center.

We can contribute to the thematic support for the working groups: portfolio analysis of national and EU funded projects, policy briefs and short studies. Our own topics are digitalisation, agricultural data and FAIR data, AI in advice and decision support, the governance of data and AI in agriculture, and agricultural markets and food security.

The topic asks for innovative digital tools. We build pipelines that collect and classify project and call data from public sources such as the Funding and Tenders Portal and CORDIS, and we can use language models to map projects to themes and to find gaps and overlaps between national and EU agendas. We can offer this as a shared tool for the working groups.

We can also help with inclusiveness, by bringing the view of an Associated Country and of Mediterranean and semi-arid regions into the groups, and we can host a workshop in Türkiye.

We are looking for a coordinator and partners with experience in supporting SCAR.
