CORE Organic is the acronym for "Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming Systems". As an ERA-NET action, it intends to increase cooperation between national research activities. CORE Organic Plus is the continuation of the ERA-Nets CORE Organic I and CORE Organic II. Compared to the previous CORE Organic ERA-Nets the Plus ERA-Net will benefit from an additional top-up funding by the European Commission.

CORE Organic will publish the final call for transnational research proposals in organic food and farming systems in the beginning of December 2016, including guidance for the applicants and the national rules and priorities.

The CORE Organic consortium for the cofounded call consists of 25 partners from 19 countries (among these are AT, BG, DE, RO, SI) and they have committed 13 million € of national funds for transnational research. The CORE Organic Cofund ERA-Net will benefit from cofunding from the European Commission under Horizon2020.
