Background
This Catalogue has been developed as a joint initiative by the members of the
Enterprise Europe Network Sector Group Agrofood. The main aim is to encourage the
Participation of SMEs in the Agrofood theme of Horizon2020 Programme.
A transition is needed towards an optimal and renewable use of biological resources and
towards sustainable primary production and processing systems. These systems will need to
produce more food, fibre and other bio-based products with minimised inputs; environmental
impact and greenhouse gas emissions, and with enhanced ecosystem services, zero waste
and adequate societal value. Agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture, together with the
bio-based industries, are integral parts of the European economy and society. Relying on the
use of limited natural resources, these sectors produce and process biological resources to
satisfy the demand of consumers and a wide range of industries for food, feed, bio-energy and
bio-based products. While they enhance Europes self-reliance and provide jobs and business
opportunities essential for rural, coastal and marine areas, these sectors are also facing
significant challenges which require solutions based on research and innovation. The H2020
Agrofood Partnerships Profiles Catalogue intends to be an effective tool to promote the
participation of European SMEs, R&D groups and Technological centres at European Funding
Programmes.
Most of the profiles included in this Catalogue are focused to the specific topics published in
the 2016-2017 calls related to Societal Challenge 2: Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture
and Forestry, Marine, Maritime and Inland Water Research and the Bioeconomy.

PROJECT
TITLE: SAIC-DM - A Systems Approach for Improved Crops through Disease Management using
Brassica napus and Leptosphaeria maculans as a model
Acronym: SAIC-DM
Outline of the project idea
The Systems Approach for Improved Crops through Disease Management (SAIC-DM) is aimed to
increasing crop production, stability and quality through genomics, advanced diagnostics and
synergy with agricultural industries. Oilseed rape (B. napus) is the third most important vegetable oil
crop in the world with an annual global value of ~ 25 billion. Leptosphaeria maculans is the causal
agent of phoma stem canker, an economically important disease of oilseed rape, resulting in
worldwide yield losses of over 1 billion each year. To achieve the overall aim to develop smart
approaches and tools to identify and introduce genetic variation for oilseed rape improvement in
combination with novel disease management strategies in different environments across Europe and
abroad, five specific objectives are proposed: 1. To evaluate geographic distributions of L. maculans
races across major European cropping regions; 2. To better understand the molecular basis of
resistance against L. maculans; 3. To establish a L. maculans surveillance and prediction system that
supports oilseed rape production in a changing climate.

OF
ORGANIZATION
General activity
The Central Laboratory of Analys is a executive unit of the University of Aveiro responsible for the
execution and delivery of analytical services requested by internal and external customes to UA.
The Laboratory of ICP analyzes the content of several elements in many matrixes of samples by ICPOES or ICP-MS. It can analyze almost all the elements that make up the periodic table. Exceptions
to these elements are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and
inert gases.
The Laboratory of ICP has a ICP-MS Thermo X Series and a ICP-OES Jobin Yvon Activa M. Both allow
to analyze a wide range of concentrations, ppt (parts per trillion) to percentage. Samples should be
aqueous solutions: water, acidic or basic solutions, saline, etc. Solutions with concentrations of
organic solvents, more than 1%, require prior approval of the LCA.
The Lab aims to provide quality services to researchers at the University of Aveiro , still
guaranteeing them scientific and technical support in its areas of competence and also assert itself
with a provider of qualified services to public and private entities, optimizing and maximizing the
instrumental resources and skills available on the LCA and in the University in general.

Acronym: ELDIET
Outline of the project idea
The project aims to perform a nationwide study to assess the consumption of essential minerals and
PTEs in different food patterns, deriving conclusion regarding public health. The development of this
work also aims to act as a link between the academic community and the food industry, making
possible the development of new and better products, as well as to provide more specific
methodologies for a better control and quality assurance. Diet plans will be elaborated based on a
standard consumer, including a large range of food products, for evaluation of their essential
minerals and PTEs content and acquiring insight into the diets nutritional or potential risks. In order
to study the quality of the ingredients according to their origin, the food samples will be acquired
from different sources.
The project aims to answer the following key questions:
- Which dietary practices correspond to the best health ingestion of dietary minerals and PTEs: diets
based of fast-food, fish, meat, vegetarian, sportive or low fat, low caloric, high in fiber?
- Will common diets to reduce weight in maintain a balanced ingestion of dietary minerals and PTEs?
- Do meat, fish and agriculture products exhibit a marked regional signature in respect to dietary
minerals and PTEs?
- Does food available in the major supermarkets have the same chemical composition and quality?
Are there significant differences in comparison to the food acquired in local markets?Current state
of development: Idea

Metabolomics and sensory are core disciplines at the Department of Food Science, AU. The
metabolomics group has conducted experiments within diverse fields, such as plant metabolism,
food quality and nutrition.
Firstly, we have amble experience from studies that investigate the role of diet on metabolism and
gut microflora metabolism. In the metabolomics labs we have specific knowledge on the effect of
dietary fiber, probiotics and protein on metabolism and how this affects various lifestyle diseases
(e.g. obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases).
Secondly, the groups expertise has been used to investigate how plants respond to abiotic and
biotic stresses. Our projects have covered plants grown in green house as well as open land. Our
investigations range from the effects of different light regimes on plant metabolism, the effect of
genotype on disease resistance and the health promoting effects of plant metabolites.

ENTITY PROFILE
Food, Metabolomics and Sensory Science (FMS) is a research group in Aarhus University, Dept. of
Food Science. One of the core research areas in FMS is food and sensory science. At FMS we are
highly experienced in conducting both sensory evaluation of food using a trained sensory panel as
well as conducting consumer studies to determine consumer taste sensitivity, acceptance and
preferences of food. Sensory analysis using a trained sensory panel is used to determine differences
in sensory quality of food. The methods previously used included: descriminative and descriptive
analyses, among others temporal dominance of sensation and profiling as well as rapid sensory
methods. The food in focus includes: milk, cheese, eggs, fruits, vegetables, bread, juices and beers.
In many projects the sensory quality is related to the chemical composition, instrumental
measurements and consumer data. Furthermore, there is high expertise in FMS to conduct consumer
studies, quantitative as well as qualitative. These include measurement of taste sensitivity,
consumers' acceptance and preferences for food, consumers' sensation of physical and phychological
well-being as well as performing exposure studies. An earlier project dealt with consumers bitter
sensitivity, acceptance of bitter tasting vegetables and their impact on health. Other projects
focused on development of healthier food products, including snacks, tageting adolescents and
children. In these projects, sensory analysis and consumer studies were core activities at FMS in
71

to develop healthier food with sensory science and consumer studies as core activities.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
FMS can offer expertise in conducting sensory evaluations and consumer studies. As mention above
FMS has expertise in consumer studies with children and adolescents in order to develop healthier
food that can contribute to reduce the prevalence of obesity among these segments (SFS-39-2017).
As mentioned above reduction of salt and sugar in different food to create healthier food and the
effect on the sensory quality and consumers' acceptance are also some of the expertises in FMS.
These expertises can be offered in relation to SFS-40-2017. Sensory evaluation is a effective tool in
order to measure diversity in the sensory quality of food. This expertise can be offered in relation to
SFS-02-2016.

my PhD study on somatic embryogenesis in Miscanthus, BIOMIS (Reduction of Fouling, Slagging and
Corrosion Characteristics of Miscanthus for Power & Heat Generation using Biotechnology) development of Agrobacterium tumefaciens based tranformation protocol in Miscanthus. In
ornamental crops I have worked with tissue culture assisted chromosome doubling, mutagensis,
embryo rescue and Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation.
I have also participated in several projects on alternatives to chemical growth regulation of potted
plants using different types and combinations of abiotic stresses. Among them reduced water
availability, nutrient stress (low P and N) and mecahnical stress. I have also been the project leader
of a project with the title 'More energy efficient production of potted plants by Increased chilling
tolerance'.
The Department (Department of Food Science) has highly skilled technical staff, state of

Founded in February 23, 1988, in Portugal, OIKOS - Cooperao e Desenvolvimento, is a non-profit
association, internationally recognized as a Non-Governmental Development Organization (NGO /
INGO) acting on behalf of the most vulnerable populations. It brings together professionals from
different areas fundamental to sustainable development. Its action is based on the promotion of
economic and social rights as reflected in the promotion of the right to sustainable livelihood and
basic social services, the right to life, security and participation through political and social
citizenship, and the right to own identity. OIKOS is adept of both using the best available
intervention methodologies and developing new methods and technologies when existing ones are
found to be less than ideal. The activity of OIKOS is structured in a continuum in the areas of
emergency / humanitarian action, development / sustainable living; mobilization / global citizenship.
In southern countries, projects promote innovative approaches and focus in the areas of rural
development and food security, environment, climate change and natural resource management,
preventing and reducing the risk of natural disasters, social and economic empowerment, gender
and youth and institutional strengthening. While in the global North, Oikos mobilizes people,
institutions and resources to address these global issues. OIKOS has extensive experience in the
implementation and management of projects with funding from major institutional donors such as
the European Union, in collaboration with international partners such as FAO, WFO, UNHCR, UNICEF

ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;

concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &

The USC has a remarkable experience on the evaluation and demonstration of environmental
sustainability of innovative and novel production systems by means of the application of Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) methodology. Special attention has been paid from 2005 to non-food industrial
processes derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks (paper pulp, fibreboards, bioethanol,
lignosulphonates and bitumen nanoemulsions) in order to determine their environmental
sustainability from an industrial ecology perspective.
The USC-LCA team has worked in the following research areas related to the present project
assessing environmental performances:
1) White Biotechnology for added value products from renewable plant polymers designing new
industrial bioprocesses specifically using lignocellulosic biomass as raw material;
2) The integration of biomass and waste reutilization for Bioproducts manufacture;
3) The demonstration of sustainability of bark valorization from softwood species available in Europe
into insulating foams and bioenergy (syngas production);
4) Ecodesign of industrial products introducing changes on industrial process from an environmental
point of view, paying special attention to wood based furniture sector;
5) The production of green products with the aim of substituting phenol-formaldehyde resins with
bio-based phenolic materials in combination with phenol-oxidizing enzymes as well as the production
of tannin-based insulating foams using different scenarios of the technology and supply chains.

All these research areas have a common renewable raw material, the wood. Thus, special attention
was paid on the assessment of forest systems destined to the production of the main biomass
source:
6) The assessment of forest systems (Norway spruce in Sweden, Maritime pine in Portugal and
France, Douglas fir in France and Germany, Portuguese cork oak woodlands) focused on industrial
wood production using not only the LCA methodology but also the Tool for Sustainability Impact
Assessment (ToSIA) method, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model to assess
sustainability impacts in forest wood chains;
7) The production of energy crops for bioenergy as well as the simulation of second generation
bioethanol production chains (eucalypt, poplar, willow and acacia) by means of a biochemical
process including enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and its
environmental performance.
All these research topics have been environmentally evaluated from a cradle-to-gate/grave
perspective following ISO 14040 standards. In a recent publication about the relevance of research
groups in terms of number of LCA publications in scientific journals, USC ranks first in Spain and
sixth in the world, which highlights the role of this research group on this topic.
Moreover, this research activity has been supported by the following UE, Spanish and Regional

The USC has a remarkable experience on the evaluation and demonstration of environmental
sustainability of innovative and novel production systems by means of the application of Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) methodology. Special attention has been paid from 2005 to non-food industrial
processes derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks (paper pulp, fibreboards, bioethanol,
lignosulphonates and bitumen nanoemulsions) in order to determine their environmental
sustainability from an industrial ecology perspective.
The USC-LCA team has worked in the following research areas related to the present project
assessing environmental performances:
1) White Biotechnology for added value products from renewable plant polymers designing new
industrial bioprocesses specifically using lignocellulosic biomass as raw material;
2) The integration of biomass and waste reutilization for Bioproducts manufacture;
3) The demonstration of sustainability of bark valorization from softwood species available in Europe
into insulating foams and bioenergy (syngas production);
4) Ecodesign of industrial products introducing changes on industrial process from an environmental
point of view, paying special attention to wood based furniture sector;
5) The production of green products with the aim of substituting phenol-formaldehyde resins with
357

bio-based phenolic materials in combination with phenol-oxidizing enzymes as well as the production
of tannin-based insulating foams using different scenarios of the technology and supply chains.
All these research areas have a common renewable raw material, the wood. Thus, special attention
was paid on the assessment of forest systems destined to the production of the main biomass
source:
6) The assessment of forest systems (Norway spruce in Sweden, Maritime pine in Portugal and
France, Douglas fir in France and Germany, Portuguese cork oak woodlands) focused on industrial
wood production using not only the LCA methodology but also the Tool for Sustainability Impact
Assessment (ToSIA) method, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model to assess
sustainability impacts in forest wood chains;
7) The production of energy crops for bioenergy as well as the simulation of second generation
bioethanol production chains (eucalypt, poplar, willow and acacia) by means of a biochemical
process including enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and its
environmental performance.
All these research topics have been environmentally evaluated from a cradle-to-gate/grave
perspective following ISO 14040 standards. In a recent publication about the relevance of research
groups in terms of number of LCA publications in scientific journals, USC ranks first in Spain and
sixth in the world, which highlights the role of this research group on this topic.

The USC has a remarkable experience on the evaluation and demonstration of environmental
sustainability of innovative and novel production systems by means of the application of Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) methodology. Special attention has been paid from 2005 to non-food industrial
processes derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks (paper pulp, fibreboards, bioethanol,
lignosulphonates and bitumen nanoemulsions) in order to determine their environmental
sustainability from an industrial ecology perspective.
The USC-LCA team has worked in the following research areas related to the present project
assessing environmental performances:
1) White Biotechnology for added value products from renewable plant polymers designing new
industrial bioprocesses specifically using lignocellulosic biomass as raw material;
2) The integration of biomass and waste reutilization for Bioproducts manufacture;
3) The demonstration of sustainability of bark valorization from softwood species available in Europe
into insulating foams and bioenergy (syngas production);
4) Ecodesign of industrial products introducing changes on industrial process from an environmental
point of view, paying special attention to wood based furniture sector;
5) The production of green products with the aim of substituting phenol-formaldehyde resins with
bio-based phenolic materials in combination with phenol-oxidizing enzymes as well as the production

of tannin-based insulating foams using different scenarios of the technology and supply chains.
All these research areas have a common renewable raw material, the wood. Thus, special attention
was paid on the assessment of forest systems destined to the production of the main biomass
source:
6) The assessment of forest systems (Norway spruce in Sweden, Maritime pine in Portugal and
France, Douglas fir in France and Germany, Portuguese cork oak woodlands) focused on industrial
wood production using not only the LCA methodology but also the Tool for Sustainability Impact
Assessment (ToSIA) method, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model to assess
sustainability impacts in forest wood chains;
7) The production of energy crops for bioenergy as well as the simulation of second generation
bioethanol production chains (eucalypt, poplar, willow and acacia) by means of a biochemical
process including enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and its
environmental performance.
All these research topics have been environmentally evaluated from a cradle-to-gate/grave
perspective following ISO 14040 standards. In a recent publication about the relevance of research
groups in terms of number of LCA publications in scientific journals, USC ranks first in Spain and
sixth in the world, which highlights the role of this research group on this topic.
Moreover, this research activity has been supported by the following UE, Spanish and Regional

The USC has a remarkable experience on the evaluation and demonstration of environmental
sustainability of innovative and novel production systems by means of the application of Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) methodology. Special attention has been paid from 2005 to non-food industrial
processes derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks (paper pulp, fibreboards, bioethanol,
lignosulphonates and bitumen nanoemulsions) in order to determine their environmental
sustainability from an industrial ecology perspective.
The USC-LCA team has worked in the following research areas related to the present project
assessing environmental performances:
1) White Biotechnology for added value products from renewable plant polymers designing new
industrial bioprocesses specifically using lignocellulosic biomass as raw material;
2) The integration of biomass and waste reutilization for Bioproducts manufacture;
3) The demonstration of sustainability of bark valorization from softwood species available in Europe
into insulating foams and bioenergy (syngas production);
4) Ecodesign of industrial products introducing changes on industrial process from an environmental
point of view, paying special attention to wood based furniture sector;
5) The production of green products with the aim of substituting phenol-formaldehyde resins with
bio-based phenolic materials in combination with phenol-oxidizing enzymes as well as the production
of tannin-based insulating foams using different scenarios of the technology and supply chains.

All these research areas have a common renewable raw material, the wood. Thus, special attention
was paid on the assessment of forest systems destined to the production of the main biomass
source:
6) The assessment of forest systems (Norway spruce in Sweden, Maritime pine in Portugal and
France, Douglas fir in France and Germany, Portuguese cork oak woodlands) focused on industrial
wood production using not only the LCA methodology but also the Tool for Sustainability Impact
Assessment (ToSIA) method, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model to assess
sustainability impacts in forest wood chains;
7) The production of energy crops for bioenergy as well as the simulation of second generation
bioethanol production chains (eucalypt, poplar, willow and acacia) by means of a biochemical
process including enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and its
environmental performance.
All these research topics have been environmentally evaluated from a cradle-to-gate/grave
perspective following ISO 14040 standards. In a recent publication about the relevance of research
groups in terms of number of LCA publications in scientific journals, USC ranks first in Spain and
sixth in the world, which highlights the role of this research group on this topic.

ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,

policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;
heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for
Vocational Education/Training; RITA; Pro-AKIS; RAPIDO; EUROFOREX; GOBTUR and Rural-ITER;
among others.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
CETRADs members have been developing various research initiatives related to the Agrofood
Sector, particularly within Research Group 3 (Society, territory, resources & policy) and Thematic
Line 1 (Sustainable agro-food and forest systems in rural areas). Currently, the main issues of
research performed within the center are:
1 - Analysis of quality agro-food chains in Northern Portugal (compared to other Portuguese and
European regions), resulting in concrete recommendations to promote their competitiveness;
2 - Identification, analysis and measures of valorisation of typical Portuguese agro-food products;
3 - Increasing knowledge on the economic, social and environmental sustainability of regional
farming systems;

Our research group has developed a wide expertise during the last 20 years in the optimization and
the sustainable development of the vineyard crop under the following objectives:
1. To establish models for predicting the onset of the different phenological phases of the
autochthonous grapes varieties by means phenoclimatical models.
2. To establish models to forecast fungal attacks by means the inclusion of the atmospheric fungal
spore concentrations in the vineyard, in order to establish alert warning stations of possible
infections with a view to optimizing the application of fungicide treatments. The spore presence in
the vineyard atmosphere on a given date reported a significant correlation with the lesion density
one week later, particularly when both disease intensity and airborne spore levels were high.
3. To establish models for predicting the harvest several months in advance.
4. To assess the impact that the various climate change scenarios predicted by the IPCC
(International Panel Climatic Change) will induce on the grapevine.
Our expertise is endorsed by several PhD, more the 100 papers in JCR indexed journals and relevant
R&D supported projects during the last years such as:
1.- Title: Sustainable development strategy of D.O. Ribeiro autochtonous vine varieties harvest.,

ORGANIZATION EXPERTISE
ENTITY PROFILE
The USC has a remarkable experience on the evaluation and demonstration of environmental
sustainability of innovative and novel production systems by means of the application of Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) methodology. Special attention has been paid from 2005 to non-food industrial
processes derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks (paper pulp, fibreboards, bioethanol,
lignosulphonates and bitumen nanoemulsions) in order to determine their environmental
sustainability from an industrial ecology perspective.
The USC-LCA team has worked in the following research areas related to the present project
assessing environmental performances:
1) White Biotechnology for added value products from renewable plant polymers designing new
industrial bioprocesses specifically using lignocellulosic biomass as raw material;
2) The integration of biomass and waste reutilization for Bioproducts manufacture;
3) The demonstration of sustainability of bark valorization from softwood species available in Europe
into insulating foams and bioenergy (syngas production);
4) Ecodesign of industrial products introducing changes on industrial process from an environmental
point of view, paying special attention to wood based furniture sector;

5) The production of green products with the aim of substituting phenol-formaldehyde resins with
bio-based phenolic materials in combination with phenol-oxidizing enzymes as well as the production
of tannin-based insulating foams using different scenarios of the technology and supply chains.
All these research areas have a common renewable raw material, the wood. Thus, special attention
was paid on the assessment of forest systems destined to the production of the main biomass
source:
6) The assessment of forest systems (Norway spruce in Sweden, Maritime pine in Portugal and
France, Douglas fir in France and Germany, Portuguese cork oak woodlands) focused on industrial
wood production using not only the LCA methodology but also the Tool for Sustainability Impact
Assessment (ToSIA) method, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model to assess
sustainability impacts in forest wood chains;
7) The production of energy crops for bioenergy as well as the simulation of second generation
bioethanol production chains (eucalypt, poplar, willow and acacia) by means of a biochemical
process including enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and its
environmental performance.
All these research topics have been environmentally evaluated from a cradle-to-gate/grave
perspective following ISO 14040 standards. In a recent publication about the relevance of research
groups in terms of number of LCA publications in scientific journals, USC ranks first in Spain and
sixth in the world, which highlights the role of this research group on this topic.
Moreover, this research activity has been supported by the following UE, Spanish and Regional

Pescanova has long known how to lead the rest, by creating a solid international organisation
devoted to the rational exploitation of marine resources.
The Pescanova Group develops its activity through a complete fishing fleet, comprising more than
90 ships of differing characteristics, including many factory ships in which certain fish species and
shellfish, after being caught, are instantly processed and frozen.
Pescanova is a company that is conscious of the importance of managing marine resources correctly;
it has accepted international rules relating to the appropriate exploitation of species in different
fishing-grounds, thus assuring their continuance.
Pescanova is based on vertical integration, which goes through the entire process from catching the
products to be commercialised, through their processing until the targeted product is obtained, to
putting them on the main markets in Europe, America and Japan. Within this vertical integration, the
initial access to the resources can be obtained by catching them with its own fishing fleet or growing
them on its several farms.

The University of Gastronomic Sciences, founded in 2004 by the international non-profit association
Slow Food in cooperation with the Italian regions of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, is a legally
recognized, private non-profit institution. Its goal is to create an international research and
education centre for those working on renewing farming methods, protecting biodiversity, and
building an organic relationship between gastronomy and agricultural science. The Universitys
degree courses are thus designed to create a new professional role, that of the gastronome, who can
operate effectively in the production, distribution, promotion and communication of quality foods and
beverages. The students, who come from all over the world, learn in an active and dynamic manner,
thanks to the balance between scientific subjects and humanistic ones, sensory training and direct
experience with the artisanal and industrial processes of production and elaboration of food obtained
in the field on the study trips. This methodological and educational approach gives students a holistic
vision of food production systems past and present, teaching them how to go about developing
future food scenarios. The UNISG offers the following study programs: a three-year undergraduate
degree in Gastronomic Sciences; a two-year graduate degree in Promotion and Management of the

of populations, their customs and traditions, on demographic classes and on migratory phenomena.
Production and new technologies:
Analysis of food production from cultivation to harvesting, livestock breeding, preservation,
packaging and logistics, using new technological solutions capable of ensuring genuineness, quality
and full sustainability.
Memory and landscape:
Memory, tradition and landscape provide the focus for discovery and analysis of the link between
food and the natural environment, myths, rites and historical processes of peoples and territories of
which it is an essential part, the aim being to define it as a material and immaterial cultural heritage
of humanity.
Environment and health:
Study of the effects of food production and consumption on the environment and health, with
analysis of solutions with less impact on our environment, capable of ensuring gastronomic quality
for a healthy diet.
Economics and Food Policy:

ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;
heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin

policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for

ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;

heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for
Vocational Education/Training; RITA; Pro-AKIS; RAPIDO; EUROFOREX; GOBTUR and Rural-ITER;
among others.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
CETRADs members have been developing various research initiatives related to the Agrofood
Sector, particularly within Research Group 3 (Society, territory, resources & policy) and Thematic
Line 1 (Sustainable agro-food and forest systems in rural areas). Currently, the main issues of
research performed within the center are:
1 - Analysis of quality agro-food chains in Northern Portugal (compared to other Portuguese and
European regions), resulting in concrete recommendations to promote their competitiveness;
2 - Identification, analysis and measures of valorisation of typical Portuguese agro-food products;
3 - Increasing knowledge on the economic, social and environmental sustainability of regional
farming systems;
4 - Increasing knowledge about innovation initiatives in rural areas and in the agro-food sector, its

The University of Gastronomic Sciences, founded in 2004 by the international non-profit association
Slow Food in cooperation with the Italian regions of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, is a legally
recognized, private non-profit institution. Its goal is to create an international research and
education centre for those working on renewing farming methods, protecting biodiversity, and
building an organic relationship between gastronomy and agricultural science. The Universitys
degree courses are thus designed to create a new professional role, that of the gastronome, who can
operate effectively in the production, distribution, promotion and communication of quality foods and
beverages. The students, who come from all over the world, learn in an active and dynamic manner,
thanks to the balance between scientific subjects and humanistic ones, sensory training and direct
experience with the artisanal and industrial processes of production and elaboration of food obtained
in the field on the study trips. This methodological and educational approach gives students a holistic
vision of food production systems past and present, teaching them how to go about developing

Expertise offered (related to the topic)
The University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) is specialized in research focused on the
multidisciplinarity that characterizes the gastronomic context. The methodological approach is based
on the principles that underpin the university itself, namely food sustainability as a form of
subsistence and improvement of human and natural conditions on the planet.
Given the peculiarity of its branch of study and its now internationally recognized competence in the
field of gastronomic science and its multi-faceted sphere of influence, the UNISG promotes research
projects both for the academic sector and for the business and cultural sectors.
Here are the various academic research areas in which UNISG lecturers and researchers are
constantly engaged:
Internationality and styles of consumption:
Studies focus on international styles of food consumption through contemporary and historic analysis
of populations, their customs and traditions, on demographic classes and on migratory phenomena.
Production and new technologies:
Analysis of food production from cultivation to harvesting, livestock breeding, preservation,
packaging and logistics, using new technological solutions capable of ensuring genuineness, quality
and full sustainability.
Memory and landscape:
Memory, tradition and landscape provide the focus for discovery and analysis of the link between
food and the natural environment, myths, rites and historical processes of peoples and territories of
which it is an essential part, the aim being to define it as a material and immaterial cultural heritage
of humanity.
Environment and health:
Study of the effects of food production and consumption on the environment and health, with
analysis of solutions with less impact on our environment, capable of ensuring gastronomic quality
for a healthy diet.
Economics and Food Policy:
Observation of food production and trade trends, support to small-scale products, valorization of the
rural workforce, and normative and operational regulation to ensure quality, genuineness

ORGANIZATION EXPERTISE
ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;
heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin

policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for
Vocational Education/Training; RITA; Pro-AKIS; RAPIDO; EUROFOREX; GOBTUR and Rural-ITER;

ORGANIZATION EXPERTISE
ENTITY PROFILE
Food, Metabolomics and Sensory Science (FMS) is a research group in Aarhus University, Dept. of
Food Science. One of the core research areas in FMS is food and sensory science. At FMS we are
highly experienced in conducting both sensory evaluation of food using a trained sensory panel as
well as conducting consumer studies to determine consumer taste sensitivity, acceptance and
preferences of food. Sensory analysis using a trained sensory panel is used to determine differences
in sensory quality of food. The methods previously used included: descriminative and descriptive
analyses, among others temporal dominance of sensation and profiling as well as rapid sensory
methods. The food in focus includes: milk, cheese, eggs, fruits, vegetables, bread, juices and beers.
In many projects the sensory quality is related to the chemical composition, instrumental
measurements and consumer data. Furthermore, there is high expertise in FMS to conduct consumer
studies, quantitative as well as qualitative. These include measurement of taste sensitivity,
consumers' acceptance and
phychological well-being as well as performing exposure studies. An earlier project dealt with
consumers bitter sensitivity, acceptance of bitter tasting vegetables and their impact on health.
Other projects focused on development of healthier food products, including snacks, tageting
adolescents and children. In these projects, sensory analysis and consumer studies were core
activities at FMS in these projects. In FMS focus have also been on reduction of sugar and salt in

activities.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
FMS can offer expertise in conducting sensory evaluations and consumer studies. As mention above
FMS has expertise in consumer studies with children and adolescents in order to develop healthier
food that can contribute to reduce the prevalence of obesity among these segments (SFS-39-2017).
As mentioned above reduction of salt and sugar in different food to create healthier food and the
effect on the sensory quality and consumers' acceptance are also some of the expertises in FMS.
These expertises can be offered in relation to SFS-40-2017. Sensory evaluation is a effective tool in
order to measure diversity in the sensory quality of food. This expertise can be offered in relation to
SFS-02-2016.

Expertise offered (related to the topic)
To understand the way in which relevant factors influence the childhood obesity epidemic,
multidisciplinary research is needed. An important arm of this research is the design of surveys and
the exploitation of data sources. In practice, statistical models and methods are needed to go from
hypotheses to inferences and decision-making. SiDOR research group has expertise in the
application of statistical technology in a variety of scenarios. The involvement of our research unit in
this project would help to the design of suitable data sources and to the exploitation of the surveyed
information, in order to identify relevant factors for obesity and to quantify their impact.
Previous R&D projects experience
As mentioned, statistical methods are useful in a variety of scenarios. Indeed, SiDOR has been
previously involved in the design of surveys and in the exploitation of information by participating in

ORGANIZATION EXPERTISE
ENTITY PROFILE
Food, Metabolomics and Sensory Science (FMS) is a research group in Aarhus University, Dept. of
Food Science. One of the core research areas in FMS is food and sensory science. At FMS we are
highly experienced in conducting both sensory evaluation of food using a trained sensory panel as
well as conducting consumer studies to determine consumer taste sensitivity, acceptance and
preferences of food. Sensory analysis using a trained sensory panel is used to determine differences
in sensory quality of food. The methods previously used included: descriminative and descriptive
analyses, among others temporal dominance of sensation and profiling as well as rapid sensory
methods. The food in focus includes: milk, cheese, eggs, fruits, vegetables, bread, juices and beers.
In many projects the sensory quality is related to the chemical composition, instrumental
measurements and consumer data. Furthermore, there is high expertise in FMS to conduct consumer
studies, quantitative as well as qualitative. These include measurement of taste sensitivity,
consumers' acceptance and
phychological well-being as well as performing exposure studies. An earlier project dealt with
consumers bitter sensitivity, acceptance of bitter tasting vegetables and their impact on health.
Other projects focused on development of healthier food products, including snacks, tageting
adolescents and children. In these projects, sensory analysis and consumer studies were core
activities at FMS in these projects. In FMS focus have also been on reduction of sugar and salt in

different food in order to develop healthier food with sensory science and consumer studies as core
activities.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
FMS can offer expertise in conducting sensory evaluations and consumer studies. As mention above
FMS has expertise in consumer studies with children and adolescents in order to develop healthier
food that can contribute to reduce the prevalence of obesity among these segments (SFS-39-2017).
As mentioned above reduction of salt and sugar in different food to create healthier food and the
effect on the sensory quality and consumers' acceptance are also some of the expertises in FMS.
These expertises can be offered in relation to SFS-40-2017. Sensory evaluation is a effective tool in
order to measure diversity in the sensory quality of food. This expertise can be offered in relation to
SFS-02-2016.
Previous R&D projects experience
Many scientists in sensory science at FMS have been involved in both national and international
research project. Some of them have been descriped breifly above.

Lcteos" at the University of Santiago de Compostela, in Lugo. This has led them to develop cheeses
as Quescrem Plus, resistant to extreme heat processes and freezing without losing its creaminess, or
exclusive sandwich cheeses, softer to prevent us from breaking the slice of bread.
Thus, Innolact has strong R&D capabilities in the following areas:
Sensory, nutritional and technological properties of fat rich food products.
New and healthier fat rich dairy food products.
Beneficial effect on health of certain components of milk fat.
Valorization of wastes and co-products.

INOVISA is a Portuguese private non-profit association established in 2005 with the aim of
promoting the valorization of knowledge and technology, innovation and business development and
reinforcing the links between science and industry in the agricultural, food and forestry sector.
INOVISA has emerged as an innovative and unique structure in the Portuguese context, by having a
very well defined scope (agricultural, food and forestry sector) comparing with other innovation
support entities that are broader in scope. The INOVISAs DNA has led to a range of successful
projects, by working very closely with multiple actors within the agricultural, food and forestry
sector.
INOVISA has two operating pillars: Entrepreneurship and Business Development (BOOST) and
Knowledge and Technology Transfer (LINK). The Digital Communication of Knowledge area
(SPREAD) supports both these operating pillars transversally. Regarding the scope of action, we
operate both nationally and internationally, holding a fourth working area of Cooperation,
Development and Internationalisation (GLOBAL), which supports the international component for
INOVISA.
The BOOST area is an operating pillar that supports business projects for the development of

sector. In addition to this area, INOVISA works in collaboration with entities that provide support
services to entrepreneurs in the agricultural, food and forestry sector, both in the acquisition of skills
and in the development of services for the support of entrepreneurship. One of the strategic goals of
the BOOST area is to implement a national platform in the sector, to encourage entrepreneurship
and business development based in knowledge and technology.
The LINK area is the other operational pillar of INOVISA, which promotes the connection between
the scientific/academic setting and the business framework in the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. With the experience attained over the last few years, particularly as coordinators of Rede
INOVAR, INOVISA holds as a strategic goal to continue leading the promotion of knowledge and

The lipidomics group current lines of research are focused on using sensitive mass spectrometry
based approach for the development of targeted methods suitable for:
a) Oxidative lipidomics, towards the screening of radical based reactions taking place in biomolecules
in search of biologically active potential biomarkers, particularly relevant to in the context of blue
economy.
b) Marine lipidomics; marine lipids represent an additional type of compounds useful in the
valorization of macrophytes as an alternative source of food, feed and high added-value products for
industrial applications (nutraceutical and cosmetics).
c) Food lipidomics focused on the optimization of effects of food processing on the dietary value, and
in the evaluation of food-related health effects (traceability, geographic origin, quality control).

HCTech is a technology-based company founded in 2011 as a CIS spin-off and dedicated to the
research and development in the field of hydrography. Over the years HCTech has been focused on
the design, development, manufacture and marketing of own hydrographic technology for control
and exploitation of marine resources and has acquired a wide experience in the following fields:
Design and manufacturing of electronic components.
Design and manufacturing of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Development of software/hardware.
HCTech consists of a multidisciplinary team (telecoms, industrials, biologists, chemicals, electronics,
etc.), which joins the oceanographic professional experience and the application of new technologies
to that field. This makes HCTech particularly effective in developing new products. Despite being a
relatively young company, HCTech joins the experience of 25 years of environmental consultancy of
CIS with 10 years of development and research projects between CIS and the GPI-RV research
group.

The BAIP-2020 has been a milestone in the Spanish shipbuilding industry, with a budget of EUR 37
million and involving 21 companies and 28 research groups in 7 regions. HCTech has participated in
the work package V "Oceanographic Technologies. Characterization and Protection of the Marine
Environment", which aimed at developing the technologies needed to complement the existing, for a
better control of the seas and the regeneration of the marine environment.
4) New sensors: HCTech is working on some projects to develop new sensors for different purposes.
- Control of water quality is an imperative legal established in different standards, as the framework
water directive of the European Union. Currently this control requires continuous and costly
campaigns of sampling in situ, transport to the laboratory and analytical. This procedure prevents
optimal and desirable control continuously of the quality of the waters. HCTech aims to investigate
the feasibility of placing microsensors (not available in the market currently) in the HidroBoya for
detecting parameters of water quality (nutrients and heavy metals).
- Sensors that are currently installed to learn about the sea state can determine the waves, currents,
surface and environmental temperature of water, the wind speed and its direction. These data are
too complex for one person to make an immediate and intuitive idea of sea state, and that may be
important to assess the risk posed by sailing under certain conditions. HCTech aims to achieve a
complement to the HidroBoya to provide data that go beyond and offer a new service aimed at
professionals and users of recreational activities that need to know the status of the sea with
precision. The addition of new specific sensors together with image analysis allows obtaining those
parameters that can almost only distinguish an expert human observer: type of waves, wind, level of
brightness, types of clouds and behaviour, mists, etc. This information may be provided accurately
and quantified.

Pescanova is a company that is conscious of the importance of managing marine resources correctly;
it has accepted international rules relating to the appropriate exploitation of species in different
fishing-grounds, thus assuring their continuance.
Pescanova is based on vertical integration, which goes through the entire process from catching the
products to be commercialised, through their processing until the targeted product is obtained, to
putting them on the main markets in Europe, America and Japan. Within this vertical integration, the
initial access to the resources can be obtained by catching them with its own fishing fleet or growing
them on its several farms.

Founded in February 23, 1988, in Portugal, OIKOS - Cooperao e Desenvolvimento, is a non-profit
association, internationally recognized as a Non-Governmental Development Organization (NGO /
INGO) acting on behalf of the most vulnerable populations. It brings together professionals from
different areas fundamental to sustainable development. Its action is based on the promotion of
economic and social rights as reflected in the promotion of the right to sustainable livelihood and
basic social services, the right to life, security and participation through political and social
citizenship, and the right to own identity. OIKOS is adept of both using the best available
intervention methodologies and developing new methods and technologies when existing ones are
found to be less than ideal. The activity of OIKOS is structured in a continuum in the areas of
emergency / humanitarian action, development / sustainable living; mobilization / global citizenship.
In southern countries, projects promote innovative approaches and focus in the areas of rural
development and food security, environment, climate change and natural resource management,
preventing and reducing the risk of natural disasters, social and economic empowerment, gender
and youth and institutional strengthening. While in the global North, Oikos mobilizes people,
institutions and resources to address these global issues. OIKOS has extensive experience in the
implementation and management of projects with funding from major institutional donors such as
the European Union, in collaboration with international partners such as FAO, WFO, UNHCR, UNICEF

ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;
957
Horizon2020 - Agrofood
Partnership Profiles Catalogue
calls 2016-2017

Enterprise Europe Network
heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for
Vocational Education/Training; RITA; Pro-AKIS; RAPIDO; EUROFOREX; GOBTUR and Rural-ITER;

Founded in February 23, 1988, in Portugal, OIKOS - Cooperao e Desenvolvimento, is a non-profit
association, internationally recognized as a Non-Governmental Development Organization (NGO /
INGO) acting on behalf of the most vulnerable populations. It brings together professionals from
different areas fundamental to sustainable development. Its action is based on the promotion of
economic and social rights as reflected in the promotion of the right to sustainable livelihood and
basic social services, the right to life, security and participation through political and social
citizenship, and the right to own identity. OIKOS is adept of both using the best available
intervention methodologies and developing new methods and technologies when existing ones are
found to be less than ideal. The activity of OIKOS is structured in a continuum in the areas of
emergency / humanitarian action, development / sustainable living; mobilization / global citizenship.
In southern countries, projects promote innovative approaches and focus in the areas of rural
development and food security, environment, climate change and natural resource management,
preventing and reducing the risk of natural disasters, social and economic empowerment, gender
and youth and institutional strengthening. While in the global North, Oikos mobilizes people,
institutions and resources to address these global issues. OIKOS has extensive experience in the
implementation and management of projects with funding from major institutional donors such as
the European Union, in collaboration with international partners such as FAO, WFO, UNHCR, UNICEF
and bilateral agencies, national authorities, academic institutions, civil society actors, private entities

Oikos has more than 25 years of experience of direct intervention in 4 continents and more than 20
countries. These projects often involve direct work with (and within) rural and low-income
populations in developing countries, this fact has made Oikos (and other NGOs) a privileged vehicle
for bilateral communication between this populations (that have specific needs) and other groups
that can assist in meeting those needs, these can be researchers and R&D institutions (knowledge
and technology development capabilities), donors (capacity to provide financial resources for the
R&D activities), policy makers (develop and adjust policies, legislation and regulations) and general
population of northern countries (complement funds and exert social and political pressure).
Of the hundreds of projects that OIKOS has promoted, implemented and managed successfully in
these two decades, some of the project with more relevant components related to the synergies
between land and sea-based activities are:
- Strengthening local capacity for climate change adaptation in the Gulf of Fonseca (Nicaragua,

intervention methodologies and developing new methods and technologies when existing ones are
found to be less than ideal. The activity of OIKOS is structured in a continuum in the areas of
emergency / humanitarian action, development / sustainable living; mobilization / global citizenship.
In southern countries, projects promote innovative approaches and focus in the areas of rural
development and food security, environment, climate change and natural resource management,
preventing and reducing the risk of natural disasters, social and economic empowerment, gender
and youth and institutional strengthening. While in the global North, Oikos mobilizes people,
institutions and resources to address these global issues. OIKOS has extensive experience in the

ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,

policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;
heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for

Founded in February 23, 1988, in Portugal, OIKOS - Cooperao e Desenvolvimento, is a non-profit
association, internationally recognized as a Non-Governmental Development Organization (NGO /
INGO) acting on behalf of the most vulnerable populations. It brings together professionals from
different areas fundamental to sustainable development. Its action is based on the promotion of
economic and social rights as reflected in the promotion of the right to sustainable livelihood and
basic social services, the right to life, security and participation through political and social
citizenship, and the right to own identity. OIKOS is adept of both using the best available
intervention methodologies and developing new methods and technologies when existing ones are
found to be less than ideal. The activity of OIKOS is structured in a continuum in the areas of
emergency / humanitarian action, development / sustainable living; mobilization / global citizenship.
In southern countries, projects promote innovative approaches and focus in the areas of rural
development and food security, environment, climate change and natural resource management,
preventing and reducing the risk of natural disasters, social and economic empowerment, gender
and youth and institutional strengthening. While in the global North, Oikos mobilizes people,
institutions and resources to address these global issues. OIKOS has extensive experience in the
implementation and management of projects with funding from major institutional donors such as
the European Union, in collaboration with international partners such as FAO, WFO, UNHCR, UNICEF
and bilateral agencies, national authorities, academic institutions, civil society actors, private entities

Oikos has more than 25 years of experience of direct intervention in 4 continents and more than 20
countries. These projects often involve direct work with (and within) rural and low-income
populations in developing countries, this fact has made Oikos (and other NGOs) a privileged vehicle
for bilateral communication between this populations (that have specific needs) and other groups
that can assist in meeting those needs, these can be researchers and R&D institutions (knowledge
and technology development capabilities), donors (capacity to provide financial resources for the
R&D activities), policy makers (develop and adjust policies, legislation and regulations) and general
population of northern countries (complement funds and exert social and political pressure).
Of the hundreds of projects that OIKOS has promoted, implemented and managed successfully in
these two decades, some of the project with more relevant components are:
- Strengthening local capacity for climate change adaptation in the Gulf of Fonseca (Nicaragua,
Honduras and El Salvador) 2011/2016 - 1.685.228,60.

environmental conditions. Also, the use of double cropping systems and catch-crops as well as
optimized harvest time may offer possibilities for im-proving the biomass yield and quality. Another
specific interest is concerned with the use of perennial crops for the combined production of biomass
and protection of the environment. Crop species such as perennial grass for forage production and
short rotation forestry species such as willow and poplar for energy production may significantly
reduce the leaching of nutrients to the aquatic environ-ment compared to annual crops. In willow
production, it may also be possible to irri-gate/fertilize with waste water with a dual effect of
improving the biomass yield and reducing the costs of waste water handling. AgroTech undertakes
mapping of actual biomass resources and potential for future biomass resources within specific
geographical regions. AgroTech combines desk studies with experiments in our own laboratories and

INOVISA is a Portuguese private non-profit association established in 2005 with the aim of
promoting the valorization of knowledge and technology, innovation and business development and
reinforcing the links between science and industry in the agricultural, food and forestry sector.
INOVISA has emerged as an innovative and unique structure in the Portuguese context, by having a
very well defined scope (agricultural, food and forestry sector) comparing with other innovation
support entities that are broader in scope. The INOVISAs DNA has led to a range of successful
projects, by working very closely with multiple actors within the agricultural, food and forestry
sector.
INOVISA has two operating pillars: Entrepreneurship and Business Development (BOOST) and
Knowledge and Technology Transfer (LINK). The Digital Communication of Knowledge area
(SPREAD) supports both these operating pillars transversally. Regarding the scope of action, we
operate both nationally and internationally, holding a fourth working area of Cooperation,
Development and Internationalisation (GLOBAL), which supports the international component for
INOVISA.
The BOOST area is an operating pillar that supports business projects for the development of
technology and knowledge-based products or services targeting the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. In addition to this area, INOVISA works in collaboration with entities that provide support

services to entrepreneurs in the agricultural, food and forestry sector, both in the acquisition of skills
and in the development of services for the support of entrepreneurship. One of the strategic goals of
the BOOST area is to implement a national platform in the sector, to encourage entrepreneurship
and business development based in knowledge and technology.
The LINK area is the other operational pillar of INOVISA, which promotes the connection between
the scientific/academic setting and the business framework in the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. With the experience attained over the last few years, particularly as coordinators of Rede
INOVAR, INOVISA holds as a strategic goal to continue leading the promotion of knowledge and
technology transfer in the sector at a national level. An additional purpose is to assume a position of
greater dynamics at an international level, encouraging networking and project development, with
particular emphasis in Portuguese speaking countries; at an European level, we want to act as a
structure for advocacy and connection with the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural
Productivity and Sustainability.
The SPREAD area aims to promote innovation and a massive use of digital communication in the
whole sector, by developing digital communication strategies and creating, labelling and disclosing
knowledge and technology digital contents, particularly in video format.
The GLOBAL area focus in Europe and in Portuguese speaking countries, articulates and promotes
initiatives developed internationally, along with the other areas of INOVISA. The operational work of
the GLOBAL area has been strategically established through the SKAN Platform project
(www.skanplatform.org).
Relevant previous projects or activities:

ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;

heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for

INOVISA is a Portuguese private non-profit association established in 2005 with the aim of
promoting the valorization of knowledge and technology, innovation and business development and
reinforcing the links between science and industry in the agricultural, food and forestry sector.
INOVISA has emerged as an innovative and unique structure in the Portuguese context, by having a
very well defined scope (agricultural, food and forestry sector) comparing with other innovation
support entities that are broader in scope. The INOVISAs DNA has led to a range of successful
projects, by working very closely with multiple actors within the agricultural, food and forestry
sector.
INOVISA has two operating pillars: Entrepreneurship and Business Development (BOOST) and
Knowledge and Technology Transfer (LINK). The Digital Communication of Knowledge area
(SPREAD) supports both these operating pillars transversally. Regarding the scope of action, we
operate both nationally and internationally, holding a fourth working area of Cooperation,
Development and Internationalisation (GLOBAL), which supports the international component for
INOVISA.
The BOOST area is an operating pillar that supports business projects for the development of
technology and knowledge-based products or services targeting the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. In addition to this area, INOVISA works in collaboration with entities that provide support
services to entrepreneurs in the agricultural, food and forestry sector, both in the acquisition of skills

and in the development of services for the support of entrepreneurship. One of the strategic goals of
the BOOST area is to implement a national platform in the sector, to encourage entrepreneurship
and business development based in knowledge and technology.
The LINK area is the other operational pillar of INOVISA, which promotes the connection between
the scientific/academic setting and the business framework in the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. With the experience attained over the last few years, particularly as coordinators of Rede
INOVAR, INOVISA holds as a strategic goal to continue leading the promotion of knowledge and
technology transfer in the sector at a national level. An additional purpose is to assume a position of
greater dynamics at an international level, encouraging networking and project development, with
particular emphasis in Portuguese speaking countries; at an European level, we want to act as a
structure for advocacy and connection with the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural
Productivity and Sustainability.
The SPREAD area aims to promote innovation and a massive use of digital communication in the
whole sector, by developing digital communication strategies and creating, labelling and disclosing
knowledge and technology digital contents, particularly in video format.
The GLOBAL area focus in Europe and in Portuguese speaking countries, articulates and promotes
initiatives developed internationally, along with the other areas of INOVISA. The operational work of
the GLOBAL area has been strategically established through the SKAN Platform project
(www.skanplatform.org).

INOVISA is a Portuguese private non-profit association established in 2005 with the aim of
promoting the valorization of knowledge and technology, innovation and business development and
reinforcing the links between science and industry in the agricultural, food and forestry sector.
INOVISA has emerged as an innovative and unique structure in the Portuguese context, by having a
very well defined scope (agricultural, food and forestry sector) comparing with other innovation
support entities that are broader in scope. The INOVISAs DNA has led to a range of successful
projects, by working very closely with multiple actors within the agricultural, food and forestry
sector.
INOVISA has two operating pillars: Entrepreneurship and Business Development (BOOST) and
Knowledge and Technology Transfer (LINK). The Digital Communication of Knowledge area
(SPREAD) supports both these operating pillars transversally. Regarding the scope of action, we
operate both nationally and internationally, holding a fourth working area of Cooperation,
Development and Internationalisation (GLOBAL), which supports the international component for
INOVISA.
The BOOST area is an operating pillar that supports business projects for the development of
technology and knowledge-based products or services targeting the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. In addition to this area, INOVISA works in collaboration with entities that provide support

services to entrepreneurs in the agricultural, food and forestry sector, both in the acquisition of skills
and in the development of services for the support of entrepreneurship. One of the strategic goals of
the BOOST area is to implement a national platform in the sector, to encourage entrepreneurship
and business development based in knowledge and technology.
The LINK area is the other operational pillar of INOVISA, which promotes the connection between
the scientific/academic setting and the business framework in the agricultural, food and forestry
sector. With the experience attained over the last few years, particularly as coordinators of Rede
INOVAR, INOVISA holds as a strategic goal to continue leading the promotion of knowledge and
technology transfer in the sector at a national level. An additional purpose is to assume a position of
greater dynamics at an international level, encouraging networking and project development, with
particular emphasis in Portuguese speaking countries; at an European level, we want to act as a
structure for advocacy and connection with the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural
Productivity and Sustainability.
The SPREAD area aims to promote innovation and a massive use of digital communication in the
whole sector, by developing digital communication strategies and creating, labelling and disclosing
knowledge and technology digital contents, particularly in video format.
The GLOBAL area focus in Europe and in Portuguese speaking countries, articulates and promotes
initiatives developed internationally, along with the other areas of INOVISA. The operational work of
the GLOBAL area has been strategically established through the SKAN Platform project
(www.skanplatform.org).
Relevant previous projects or activities:
1) Rede INOVAR - The Portuguese Agro, Food and Forestry Network (ProDeR - Portuguese Rural
Development Program funded) is a Portuguese wide network which aims at providing an exciting
technology and knowledge transfer environment between the academia and the business
community, in the agro, food and forest sector. Rede INOVAR has 79 national entities (including all
the universities and institutions for Science and Technology operating in the agricultural, food and
forestry sectors in Portugal and several national or regional business associations, federations,
confederations and clusters), representing the most important active innovation stakeholders in the
Portuguese agricultural, food and forestry sectors.
2) RED- ITAA (INTERREG IV-B SUDOE funded) intends to extend the use and exploitation of the
platform chil.org to Portugal, Spain and South of France. Chil.org is a knowledge portal specialized in
the agro industrial sector, with the aim to provide to the European agriculture sector with a Web tool
designed to fits its particular needs and help it to use the Internet to increase its competitiveness,
communication, integration and diffusion of goods.
3) SKAN Platform (ProDeR - Portuguese Rural Development Program funded) aims to promote the
1158

sharing of knowledge and technology between Europe, Africa and Latin America in the agricultural,
food and forestry sector. SKAN Platform uses three different but integrated approaches (Web
Platform, Network Platform and Facilitation Platform) which ensure high engagement and
involvement with the actors of all innovation chain in these three different geographical areas.
4) Agrofood 3.0 (ProDeR - Portuguese Rural Development Program funded) is an initiative of eleven
Portuguese entities (including universities, R&D institutions and business associations operating in
the agricultural, food and forestry sectors in Portugal) that aims to do capacity-building in the
creation, cataloguing and dissemination of digital contents about scientific and technical knowledge
in the agricultural, food and forestry sector, in order to enable these entities to communicate the
knowledge they generate using digital tools.
5) Inovemp and Export (PRRN Portuguese Rural Network Programme funded) are two projects to
benchmark best practices on innovation and exports in the agriculture and agrifood sectors. These
two projects where developed in partnership with the School of Agriculture / University of Lisbon and
the Portuguese Association of Young Farmers.
6) International benchmarking study of competitiveness poles and clusters and identification of best
practices. This study had the objectives of identify, select and establish international contacts with
Competitiveness / Technological Poles and Clusters; describe and analyze identified Competitiveness
/ Technological Poles and Clusters and promote international partnerships with the contacted
organizations / cluster initiatives.
In the past four years, INOVISA has also developed several partnerships with Portuguese speaking
countries in Africa, namely Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde. Together with Agostinho Neto
University (Luanda), it has given support to the creation of a technology and entrepreneurship
centre and the creation of a national network for technology transfer and technology based
entrepreneurship in Angola.
INOVISA is also a full partner of the Tertiary Agriculture Education Partnership (TAE partnership)
that has been coordinated by the World Bank and is working together with African leaders to create
and develop TEAM Africa. In this context, INOVISA is coordinating a prospective study to analyse the
future of higher education of agriculture in Africa.

ORGANIZATION EXPERTISE
ENTITY PROFILE
ENTITY PROFILE: CETRAD is a social science and humanities research unit, with more than 50
integrated members spread over 3 research groups (Tourism, identities & cultural heritages;
Innovation, organisations & markets; Society, territory, resources & policy) and 6 thematic research
lines focused on agrarian sustainability; territorial cohesion; social inclusion; rural enterprise;
tourism; and the valuation of environmental and heritage services. The research key issues of
CETRAD are rural, regional and local development, based on its core values of inter-, multi-and
trans-disciplinarity, stakeholder participation, and beneficiary empowerment. It does so in 3 crucial
ways: (1) by identifying resources (especially inputs into the agro-food, tourism, culture and energy
value chains) whose extralocal market potentialities are not yet fully realized, whose
competitiveness needs reinforcing and/or whose value cannot easily be expressed in market terms;
(2) by prioritising the link between more endogenous development, greater social inclusion through
empowerment, and firmer regional cohesion; and (3) by focusing on forms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and competitiveness that promote sustainable wealth- and employment-creation
and mitigate demographic decline.
The value-added generated by CETRAD takes the form of knowledge as represented by studies,
policy recommendations and new organisational strategies. Its main scientific areas (sociology;
1182
Horizon2020 - Agrofood

calls 2016-2017

heritage/museology; management; economics) undoubtedly benefit from having some of their key
concepts and recent theoretical formulations tested in the field and, if validated, used to underpin
policy change and organisational strategies. Natural, agrarian, forestry and environment-related
sciences also benefit from CETRADs work, because it is well-grounded in the complex reality
productive, technological, and biodiversity-related as well as social, cultural, spatial, entrepreneurial
and political that constitutes the rural development process. Regional, national and international
networking with other researchers, practitioners and stakeholders is a fundamental asset to
CETRADs work. The joint production and shared consumption of knowledge in collaborative projects
with international partners is personally and institutionally satisfying, particularly given its
preeminently inter-disciplinary nature and transdisciplinary potential.
RELEVANT R&D PROJECTS:
CETRAD consolidates its strategic European and intercontinental networks in rural development (e.g.
SYAL, REAL, IFSA, ESEE, Symbios), in regional development, innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g.
via a specific protocol with CEER, and continued participation in the CIBECEM, REAL, Symbios, JLEG
and other networks), and in tourism and heritage (Intertur). International research collaboration has
been further consolidated through institutional links in Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
Mozambique and Angola and, closer to home, in Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Holland, France, Poland and
Russia, through projects such as Glocal Governance in Latin American Rural Regions; Agrofood &
Forestry Companies Added Value Co-products; Working Strategy for New Product Thinking; PGaEValue; Qualification for the 3rd Sector; Red Euro-Centroamericana Eureca; Quality Certification for
Vocational Education/Training; RITA; Pro-AKIS; RAPIDO; EUROFOREX; GOBTUR and Rural-ITER;
among others.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
CETRADs members have been developing various research initiatives related to the Agrofood
Sector, particularly within Research Group 3 (Society, territory, resources & policy) and Thematic
Line 1 (Sustainable agro-food and forest systems in rural areas). Currently, the main issues of
research performed within the center are:
1 - Analysis of quality agro-food chains in Northern Portugal (compared to other Portuguese and
European regions), resulting in concrete recommendations to promote their competitiveness;
2 - Identification, analysis and measures of valorisation of typical Portuguese agro-food products;
3 - Increasing knowledge on the economic, social and environmental sustainability of regional
farming systems;
4 - Increasing knowledge about innovation initiatives in rural areas and in the agro-food sector, its
potentials and limitations, as a tool to support the development of firms, organizations and

SiDOR (Statistical Inference, Decision and Operations Research) group was created in 1998 by a
group of young mathematicians of the University of Vigo, especialized in statistical models and
methods and operations research. Presently, more than 30 people belong to SiDOR, including
permanent researchers, posdocs, Ph.D. students, and technical staff. SiDOR members participate as
teachers in a Master in Statistical Techniques and a Ph.D. Program in Statistics and Operations
Research, where they have directed many doctoral theses.
SiDOR main lines of research are, on the one hand, nonparametric and semiparametric statistical
inference in complex problems (like high-dimensional data, censored data) and, on the other, game
theory, decision theory and operations research, in general. Researchers in the group lead and
participate in research projects and networks funded by competitive programs of the autonomic
Government of Galicia, the Spanish Ministry of Economy (for more than a decade) and the European
Commission. These projects include both basic research and applications to emerging problems from
different fields , such as economics , engineering, or biomedical sciences. In fact, many members of
SiDOR group participe actively in the newly created Center for Biomedical Research at the University
of Vigo (CINBIO) and the Technological Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITMATI).

the network 'Asymptotic Theory for Multidimensional Statistics', respectively funded by the 7th
Framework Programme of the EU and the Flanders Research Foundation.
Expertise offered (related to the topic)
The goals of this topic include the design of data collection procedures for biomass and the
exploitation of data sources. Data comparability with European and international databases is an
issue here. In practice, statistical models and methods are needed to go from hypotheses to
inferences and decision-making. SiDOR research group has expertise in the application of statistical
technology in a variety of scenarios. The involvement of our research unit in this project would help
to the design of suitable data sources and to the exploitation of the surveyed information, in order to
monitor bioeconomy developments and help the decision-makers.
Previous R&D projects experience
As mentioned, statistical methods are useful in a variety of scenarios. Indeed, SiDOR has been
previously involved in the design of surveys and in the exploitation of information by participating in
several projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science or the European Commission.

The USC has a remarkable experience on the evaluation and demonstration of environmental
sustainability of innovative and novel production systems by means of the application of Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) methodology. Special attention has been paid from 2005 to non-food industrial
processes derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks (paper pulp, fibreboards, bioethanol,
lignosulphonates and bitumen nanoemulsions) in order to determine their environmental
sustainability from an industrial ecology perspective.
The USC-LCA team has worked in the following research areas related to the present project
assessing environmental performances:
1) White Biotechnology for added value products from renewable plant polymers designing new
industrial bioprocesses specifically using lignocellulosic biomass as raw material;
2) The integration of biomass and waste reutilization for Bioproducts manufacture;
3) The demonstration of sustainability of bark valorization from softwood species available in Europe
into insulating foams and bioenergy (syngas production);
4) Ecodesign of industrial products introducing changes on industrial process from an environmental
point of view, paying special attention to wood based furniture sector;
5) The production of green products with the aim of substituting phenol-formaldehyde resins with

bio-based phenolic materials in combination with phenol-oxidizing enzymes as well as the production
of tannin-based insulating foams using different scenarios of the technology and supply chains.
All these research areas have a common renewable raw material, the wood. Thus, special attention
was paid on the assessment of forest systems destined to the production of the main biomass
source:
6) The assessment of forest systems (Norway spruce in Sweden, Maritime pine in Portugal and
France, Douglas fir in France and Germany, Portuguese cork oak woodlands) focused on industrial
wood production using not only the LCA methodology but also the Tool for Sustainability Impact
Assessment (ToSIA) method, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model to assess
sustainability impacts in forest wood chains;
7) The production of energy crops for bioenergy as well as the simulation of second generation
bioethanol production chains (eucalypt, poplar, willow and acacia) by means of a biochemical
process including enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and its
environmental performance.
All these research topics have been environmentally evaluated from a cradle-to-gate/grave
perspective following ISO 14040 standards. In a recent publication about the relevance of research
groups in terms of number of LCA publications in scientific journals, USC ranks first in Spain and
sixth in the world, which highlights the role of this research group on this topic.

The University of Gastronomic Sciences, founded in 2004 by the international non-profit association
Slow Food in cooperation with the Italian regions of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, is a legally
recognized, private non-profit institution. Its goal is to create an international research and
education centre for those working on renewing farming methods, protecting biodiversity, and
building an organic relationship between gastronomy and agricultural science. The Universitys
degree courses are thus designed to create a new professional role, that of the gastronome, who can
operate effectively in the production, distribution, promotion and communication of quality foods and
beverages. The students, who come from all over the world, learn in an active and dynamic manner,
thanks to the balance between scientific subjects and humanistic ones, sensory training and direct
experience with the artisanal and industrial processes of production and elaboration of food obtained
in the field on the study trips. This methodological and educational approach gives students a holistic
vision of food production systems past and present, teaching them how to go about developing
future food scenarios. The UNISG offers the following study programs: a three-year undergraduate
degree in Gastronomic Sciences; a two-year graduate degree in Promotion and Management of the
Food and Tourist Heritage; three one-year post-graduate Masters in Food Culture and

ENTITY PROFILE
The research group of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department
of the University of Cordoba has a long experience in three main research lines: (1) watewater
treatment and biomethanisation; (2) composting; and (3) design, optimisation and process control.
The first research line was started in 1993 with the treatment of olive mill wastewater, followed by
vinasse derived from ethanol manufacturing and in general high strength agroindustrial and urban
wastewaters. Recently, several studies have been focussed on the biomethanization of organic solid
wastes such as orange peel, strawberry extrude or frigate waste. With regard to composting, this
line was started in 1997 with a study on the composting of organic fraction of municipal solid waste
and continued with the optimization of sewage sludge, cattle manure and agroindustrial wastes cocomposting. On the other hand, the research group have collaborated with several companies for the
design, otpimization and control of different industrial processes (biodiesel manufacturing, squalene
purification, composting optimization, etc.) since 2005.
