TKI Agri & Food: fundamental and applied research plus valorisation
TKI Agri & Food
The Top Consortium for Knowledge and Innovation (TKI) coordinates the creation of the Knowledge and Innovation agenda of Top Sector Agri & Food, takes care of the research programme and advises the Top Team Agriculture & Food concerning arrangements with the Minister of Climate and Economic Affairs.
As far as the research programme is concerned, TKI Agri & Food supports innovation with a number of its own arrangements and offers co-financing for, for example, EU projects. So far this has resulted in around 500 research and innovation projects, large and small: TKI projects, MIT projects, NWO projects and EU projects that have all been supported financially by TKI Agri & Food.
An overview of all arrangements and options for co-financing of projects by TKI Agri & Food can be found on the Co-financing page. There you can find documents needed for the project justification and reporting.
