The OECD's Co-operative Research Programme: Sustainable Agricultural and Food Systems (CRP) exists to strengthen scientific knowledge and provide relevant scientific information and advice that will inform future policy decisions related to the sustainability of agriculture, food, fisheries and forests. It does this through facilitating international co-operation among research scientists and institutions, by sponsoring international events (conferences, workshops and symposiums) and individual research fellowships, placing a policy emphasis on all the activities it funds. It focuses on global issues such as food security, climate change, and the inter-connectedness of economies through trade and scientific co-operation. 

OECD welcomes applications from anyone interested in organising an event (conference, workshop or symposium) on state-of-the-art research issues in agriculture, food, fisheries or forests or who would like to spend time working with researchers in another country.

See below the general information on our call for applications. You can also review previous events and fellowships for information on what we have sponsored in the past.

Fellowships

The CRP funds short-term research projects for individual scientists in CRP member countries. These individual travel bursary awards strengthen the exchange of ideas and increase international mobility and co-operation. More than 75% of fellowships result in long-term co-operation between fellows and their host institutes, a major goal of the programme.
