Joint Programming Initiative “A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life” (JPI HDHL)
Scope and Objective
Synergies and complementarities with PRIMA
JPI HDHL addresses the promotion of healthy lifestyles
with better diets and increased physical activity. In
particular it aims at developing solutions for the
increasing demand for high quality foods for an ageing
and growing world population whilst considering the
increasing competition for resources such as land, water
and crops for production of feed, food and raw materials
used for fuels and industrial biotechnology.
During their lifecycle, each JPI developed joint actions or
knowledge hubs and mobilised a community of European
researchers.
Addressing both the Governing bodies of the three JPIs
and the beneficiaries of the ongoing joint actions or
knowledge hubs will be a critical step in ensuring that
awareness on the PRIMA Themes and Activities will be
raised.
Furthermore, representatives of JPI HDHL will
significantly contribute to the public discussion of PRIMA.
In the framework of this Joint Programming Initiative 25
Member States and Associated Countries are engaged.
Among them, there are not only the vast majority of EU
countries, but also Mediterranean Countries like Turkey
and Israel
These activities of creation of synergies and
complementarities will be also aimed at enlarging the
number of Mediterranean Countries that might benefit
from the participation of the JPI.
In the long run, being the JPI HDHL a relevant initiative but
well in line with Pillar III of the PRIMA Programme,
evaluations on how to best capitalize from the differences
between this JPI and the more coordinated, long lasting,
broad and impactful PRIMA Programme will be
performed.
JPI “Water challenges for a changing world” (JPI WATER)
Scope and Objective
Synergies and complementarities with PRIMA
66
JPI WATER deals with research in the field of water and
hydrological sciences. The availability of water in
sufficient quantities and adequate quality is indeed a
public issue of high priority and addresses a pan-European
and global environmental challenge.
During their lifecycle, each JPI developed joint actions or
knowledge hubs and mobilised a community of European
researchers.
Addressing both the Governing bodies of the three JPIs
and the beneficiaries of the ongoing joint actions or
knowledge hubs will be a critical step in ensuring that
awareness on the PRIMA Themes and Activities will be
raised.
Furthermore, representatives of JPI WATER will
significantly contribute to the public discussion of PRIMA.
In the framework of this Joint Programming Initiative 20
Member States and Associated Countries are engaged,
plus 4 Member states as observer. Among them, there are
not only the vast majority of EU countries, but also
Mediterranean Countries like Turkey and Israel
These activities of creation of synergies and
complementarities will be also aimed at enlarging the
number of Mediterranean Countries that might benefit
from the participation of the JPI.
In the long run, being the JPI Water a relevant initiative
but well in line with Pillar I of the PRIMA Programme,
evaluations on how to best capitalize from the differences
between this JPI and the more coordinated, long lasting,
broad and impactful PRIMA Programme will be
performed. Notably, JPI Water already foresees a Task
Force on Alignment of Activities and therefore a
synergistic approach should be facilitated.
EIT Food4Future Knowledge Innovation Community (KIC FOOD)
Scope and Objective
Synergies and complementarities with PRIMA
A KIC in this area will focus on the food supply chain. The
objectives are to:
Ensure a climate-resilient and sustainable global
food system.
Meet increasing food demand within the
constraints of available land and declining fish
stocks, protecting the natural environment and
safeguarding human health
The aim of a KIC will be to gather excellence in higher
education, research and business to deliver jobs and
growth opportunities. The KIC FOOD will be selected by
the end of 2016, and will last at least seven years. PRIMA
Programme will interact with representatives of the
established KIC FOOD in order to cross-fertilise agendas
and implementation plans. Representatives of the KIC
FOOD will significantly contribute to the public discussion
of PRIMA. Since the scope of the KIC is European, whilst
its outreach and internationalization is expected, PRIMA
may be a strong avenue to the Euro-Mediterranean Area
in order to engage possible new members and mobilise
local stakeholders in the KIC. Vice versa, instruments of
the KIC might be of inspiration or might be co-developed,
being the two initiatives not competitive in term of scope,
vision, governance and funding, with particular emphasis
on
the
training
and
business
development/entrepreneurship support.
