This online Info Day presented the latest call for proposals for "improving scientific knowledge to strengthen the science-basis of management decisions under the Common Fisheries Policy". The call is funded under the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) Work Programme 2024-2025.
The call for proposals has been published on 14 November 2024 with a budget of EUR 2.6 million.

Description
The Info Day explained the policy context and presented the objectives and scope of the call. The session further explained the call conditions and how to apply, including tips and tricks to improve your proposal.
Participants were able to ask questions via Sli.do, using the hashtag #EMFAF2025Fisheries.
The call supported projects that aim to strengthen the scientific knowledge needed to support the design of science-based policies for fisheries conservation and management.
The actions can include (not limited to):
- the collection of samples or data in the field, and processing of samples that fall outside the scope of national data collection programmes,
- harmonisation or improved protocols,
- trials, meta-analysis, modelling, developing methodologies for stock evaluations,
- data validation or data preparation to feed into models,
- expanding current databases,
- link existing initiatives and develop networking activities between EU scientists and/or with the EU fishing industry.
The funded projects are expected to improve the knowledge available to the fisheries scientific communities in the European Union and at global level, which will in turn have a direct influence on improving the science base of the conservation and management measures designed in the context of the Common Fisheries Policy.
