Increasing the institutional capacity of bioeconomic research for the innovative exploitation of the local vegetal resources, in order to obtain horticultural products with high added value

BIOHORTINOV

PN-III-P1-1.2-PCCDI-2017-0332

(6PCCDI/2018)

Complex project carried out in a RDI consortium designed to improve the institutional performance of partner organizations in socio-economic areas of interest to Romania, by supporting existing research skills at the institutional level.

Project goals

  • improving the quality of life by improving the products resulting from fruit and wine crops, through the standardized nutraceutical products obtained;
  • improving the quality of the environment through alternative solutions offered to control apple and vine diseases (by avoiding pesticides);
  • development of modern cultivation technologies based on multisensory quantification of water and biocenotic stress in fruit and viticulture through phytomonitoring and early warning in the face of climate change,
  • social impact produced by the new jobs generated (1 new job created within INCDCP-ICECHIM).

Contracting authority: Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation (UEFISCDI)

Implementation period: 01/03/2018-30/06/2021

Total budget: 5.297.500 lei

Budget for the partner ICECHIM: 582.747 lei

Project responsible: Dr. Chem. Irina Fierăscu

National Institute for Research & Development in Chemistry and Petrochemistry – ICECHIM

General objectives

The objectives of the project aim at developing the own capacity of the public research organizations involved, so that at the end the following result indicators will be achieved:

1) hiring new staff in research;

2) training of young employees, but also of those already employed through initial training courses in research, respectively specialization courses offered by each of the partners in its field of competence (using the logistics of RDI centers with possibilities for relaunch;

3) new or significantly improved products / technologies / services developed;

4) structuring the offer of research and technological services and presenting them in the platform www.erris.gov.ro;

5) strengthening the capacity of partner institutions with possibilities for relaunch through: training (research) / training internships and working visits (short duration);

6) research services offered (performed) by using the available research infrastructure;

7) joint RDI program correlated with the institutional development plan of each partner.
