Three INRA priorities for Horizon Europe

In 2021, the Horizon Europe programme will take over from the present research and innovation framework programme (Horizon 2020). This period represents therefore a key opportunity for INRA to present its scientific priorities in order to meet Sustainable Development Goals but also to make the Institute more attractive and to contribute to the development of major sites for agricultural research in France.
