CORE Organic is a transnational partnership where resources within research in organic food and farming are joined.
The aim is to enhance the quality, relevance and utilisation of resources in European research in organic food and farming through coordination and collaboration.
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.
Continuation of the CORE Organic cooperation
In September 2007, the first ERA-NET project period came to an end; at the same time eight transnational research projects initiated under the auspices of CORE Organic were launched. In order to continue the cooperation in CORE Organic and to start the new research projects, a two-day, kick-off meeting was held in Vienna on 13-14 September 2007.
At the meeting the new transnational research projects were presented and potential benefits and constraints for transnational research cooperation in organic food and farming through an ERANET were discussed. Likewise, the outputs, findings and the "lessons learned" during the 3-year period of the ERA-NET project CORE Organic were presented and the discussed.
Finally the eleven partners in CORE Organic formed a network in order to continue their cooperation.
