CINEA’s EMFAF-2027-PIA-ScientificAdviceFisheries call has been open since 12 November 2026, with €1.8 million available. It aims to address gaps in scientific knowledge that affect fisheries conservation and management decisions under the Common Fisheries Policy. The agency expects to fund 3–4 projects.

It targets research centres, institutes, universities, foundations and scientific bodies primarily active in fisheries science or marine science applied to fisheries management. Consortia need at least two independent beneficiaries from two different EU Member States, with a coordinator established in the EU.
