CORE Organic is a transnational partnership where resources within research in organic food and farming are joined.

The project is initiated as a part of the European Commissions ERA-NET Scheme, which intends to step up cooperation between national research activities.

CORE Organic funded research projects
As a result of the cooperation in the CORE Organic ERA-net, a pilot call for joint transnational research projects in organic food and farming was launched in late 2006.
Following a comprehensive evaluation procedure eight research projects were selected for joint, transnational, funding by means of a virtual, common pot approach.
From CORE Organic I to CORE Organic II
[Updated November 30, 2009]
In 2007, the first CORE Organic ERA-NET succesfully ended. The final scientific report is available here (pdf) and gives details on the activities and achievements of the project. CORE Organic launched 8 pilot projects which are running until 2010. These projects have each their own webside, which can be found under "research."
After 2007, the partners of CORE Organic expanded their network and successfully developed a second ERA-NET, CORE Organic II, which will be a collaboration between 27 partners in 22 countries. The ERA-NET is expected to start in March 2010. Among its tasks, it will launch transnational calls for research projects on various themes of organic food and farming. Partners in CORE Organic II are from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland , Turkey, United Kingdom.
