SWIFT has two so-called “sister projects”, EU-funded projects that have also received funding under the same topic or programme, aiming to tackle the same problem and contribute to the call’s expected outcomes. In this page you can find out more on our sisters’ work!
Female-Led Innovation in Agriculture and Rural Areas (FLIARA)
The FLIARA project aims to create a European wide rural innovation ecosystem, which supports women-led innovative practices in farming and rural areas. FLIARA is challenging gender norms and stereotypes, raising awareness of the true impact and economic value of women in rural economies and development. The project is developing practical tools and policy proposals to ensure women are integrated and supported within a more effective innovation ecosystem.
Gender Equality in Rural and Agricultural Innovation Systems (GRASS CEILING)
Gender Equality in Rural and Agricultural Innovation Systems is a multi-actor three-year project, funded by the European Union in the frame of Horizon Europe. GRASS CEILING aims to empower rural women and increase the number of socio-ecological innovations led by women in agriculture, the rural economy and rural communities. The project will contribute to advancing the UN’s goals on gender parity, realise the EU Gender Equality Strategy, and achieve the goals of the Green Deal, the Farm to Fork strategy, the Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas, and the European Pillar of Social Rights.
