The Co-operative Research Programme (CRP) aims to strengthen scientific knowledge and provide information to inform future policy decisions related to the sustainable use of natural resources in food, agriculture, forests, and fisheries. The CRP Research Fellowships offer a unique opportunity for international postdoctoral researchers to advance their research in various fields.
Sponsor
The program is sponsored by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Eligible Nationalities
The fellowships are open to researchers from all over the world.
Host Countries
Fellows can conduct their research at various host institutions worldwide.
Degree
The CRP Research Fellowships are available for postdoctoral researchers.
Duration
The duration of the fellowships is not explicitly mentioned in the available information. For specific details, interested applicants should refer to the official guidelines.
Fields
The fellowships cover a diverse range of research topics across three main themes:
Theme 1: Sustainable Agri-food Systems
- Multidimensional assessment of insects for sustainable agri-food systems.
- Bridging knowledge gaps to identify metrics supporting sustainability in agroecosystems.
- Ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation in cultural landscapes of temperate mountain regions.
- Engineering climate resilience in mussel aquaculture.
- Implementation of green chemistry applications to enhance food safety sample throughput.
- Managing soil phosphorus risk to the environment and food production.
- Modeling complex socio-ecosystems for marine ecosystem service conservation.
- Progressing access to healthy, sustainable, and local fresh food for Quebec remote areas through public procurement.
Theme 2: Climate Risk Management and Agricultural Behavior
- Emerging Phytophthora diseases affecting Irish crop and forest ecosystems.
- Reinforcing climate risk management through farmers’ behavior and user-driven indicators (FRISBE).
- Evaluating root responses under combined salinity stress and phosphorus deficiency in saline soils.
- Effect of dietary bioactives from sustainable food systems on gut microbiome diversity and metabolic profile.
Theme 3: Circular Bioeconomy and Sustainable Solutions
- Optimizing production efficiencies in aquaponics to bring aquaculture into the circular economy.
- Challenges and opportunities for privatized agricultural advice in the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS) – a UK case study.
- Effectiveness of different bio-based sensors from food industry secondary streams in smart biodegradable packaging.
- Conversion potential of wet agri-food wastes to intermediate energy carriers and influencing factors.
- Plant-based solutions for gel-type dairy alternative products.
- Social-ecological resilience of mid-scale farming systems in mountain and hill country areas.
