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.

On 23 May 2018, Philippe Mauguin, President of INRA; Alain Schuhl, Deputy Director General in Charge of Scientific Affairs at CNRS; Pascal Loubière, Deputy Director of the Joint Research Unit for the Engineering of Biological Systems and Processes (INRA, CNRS, INSA Toulouse) for INSA Toulouse; Matthew Chang, Director of the SynCTI Laboratory for the National University of Singapore; and Benjamin Seet, Executive Director of the Biotransformation Innovation Platform, signed a letter of intent to create a new international associated laboratory (LIA) in systems biology and synthetic biology applied to the bioeconomy. © Christophe Maitre
