1. TRAFOON project is funded by the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. 613912 Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda Proposition of common procedure for WP5 Danilo Christen, Camille Aouinaït, Agnieszka Kosinska, Wilfried Andlauer 12-13.11.2015, Athens, Greece 1

2. Implementation Plan for SRIA Represent H2020 Call structure with: General themes Subcategories (with specific challenge for each traditional ‘species’) 2

3. SRIA definition for WP5 Inventory of Needs Multi-Stakeholder Workshops Training Workshops Inventory of Needs Multi-Stakeholder Workshops Training Workshops 3 Proposition of new WP5 strategical themes Proposition of WP5 common subcategories (incl. definition of specific challenges, scope, expected impact, type of action) Proposition of new WP5 strategical themes Proposition of WP5 common subcategories (incl. definition of specific challenges, scope, expected impact, type of action) Common SRIA definiton, but based on divergent:

4. Proposition of new WP5 strategic themes (examples from Switzerland) 1.Improvement of genetic material of traditional fruit 2.Production techniques and material resources for orchard management 3.Post-harvesting techniques and quality of fruit 4.Value chain management 5.Improved communication and transfer between producers and consumers 4  Easy to find common strategic themes

5. Proposition of WP5 common subcategories (examples from Poland) Theme: Increase of traditional food consumer awareness To improve trust in the traditional food sector and food attitudes in European consumers Emphasize the healthy function of traditional food A system of continuous evaluation of traditional food consumer needs Improve EU gold standards for assessment and evaluation of traditional food heritage and engaging consumers with this approaches 5  Easy to find WP5 common subcategories

6. Definition of subcategories (incl. specific challenges, scope, expected impact, type of action) SME needs represent specific challenges and are divergent within WP5 Specific challenges depend on fruit species (product sector) and on supply chain structure, environment and market in each country Within a subcategory, some specific challenges required basic research and others practical implementation 6  Difficult to write specific challenges that fit to all fruit and to a single type of action

7. Theme > type of action vs. Type of action > theme The top-down procedure to define SRIA Easy to find common strategic themes Easy to find WP5 common subcategories But impossible to merge specific challenges in order to write coherent proposal for SRIA (e.g. type of action) Proposition of a bottom-up procedure (=translate identified GAPS in SRIA) Merge specific challenges (=SME needs) according to the part of basic research and/or practical implementation Find WP5 common subcategories Find common strategic themes 7

8. 8 Basic research Practical implementation Gap 0 = Required global knowledge Gap 1 = Required specific knowledge on product sector Gap 2 = Required solutions adapted to SMEs needs Gap 3 = Required support for operational implementation Research and Innovation Action SME Instrument Fast Track to Innovation Innovation Action Coordination and Support Action SME Instrument Proposition of common procedure for writing coherent proposal for SRIA

9. 9 Basic research Practical implementation Gap 0 = Required global knowledge Gap 1 = Required specific knowledge on product sector Gap 2 = Required solutions adapted to SMEs needs Gap 3 = Required support for operational implementation Research and Innovation Action SME Instrument Fast Track to Innovation Innovation Action Coordination and Support Action SME Instrument Step 1: Consider the IoN categories separately e.g. pest and diseases management

10. 10 Basic research Practical implementation Gap 0 = Required global knowledge Gap 1 = Required specific knowledge on product sector Gap 2 = Required solutions adapted to SMEs needs Gap 3 = Required support for operational implementation Research and Innovation Action SME Instrument Fast Track to Innovation Innovation Action Coordination and Support Action SME Instrument Step 2: Place the different specific challenges in scheme e.g. pest and diseases management Breeding programs (apple, apricot, berries) Information about proper use of pesticides (apple, apricot, berries) D. suzukii (berries) ESFY (apricot) Policy making (apple, apricot, berries) Promotion of alternative substances (apple, apricot, berries) Technical solutions (apple, apricot, berries)

11. 11 Basic research Practical implementation Gap 0 = Required global knowledge Gap 1 = Required specific knowledge on product sector Gap 2 = Required solutions adapted to SMEs needs Gap 3 = Required support for operational implementation Research and Innovation Action SME Instrument Fast Track to Innovation Innovation Action Coordination and Support Action SME Instrument Step 3: Merge convergent specific challenges e.g. pest and diseases management Breeding programs (apple, apricot, berries) Information about proper use of pesticides (apple, apricot, berries) D. suzukii (berries) ESFY (apricot) Policy making (apple, apricot, berries) Promotion of alternative substances (apple, apricot, berries) Technical solutions (apple, apricot, berries)

12. No more Pest and disease management, but: Development of multi-resistant cultivars by new breeding techniques (basic research, Research and Innovation Action) Implementation of alternative technical solutions for pest and disease management (practical implementation, Coordination and Support Action or Fast Track to Innovation) 12  WP round tables: first discuss about convergent specific challenges and not about new strategic themes Step 4: Find the appropriate subcategory title e.g. pest and diseases management
