The IOC has just issued a call for expressions of interest in IOC grant funding for technical cooperation activities.
Proposed programmes must be solely connected with olive diseases, notably Xylella fastidiosa, the environmental footprint and physico–chemical and sensory testing laboratories in member countries that do not yet have IOC-recognised labs.
The deadline for the receipt of grant application dossiers is 30 April 2016. Grant applications from organisations located in EU member countries may be forwarded directly to the IOC. All other application dossiers must be presented via the Head of Delegation of the IOC Member concerned, whose name and address can be obtained from the Executive Secretariat.
