This latest collaboration between the two countries will focus on agri-food, climate change, public health and cultural heritage.

The current cooperation program began in 2018 and has so far approved 23 research projects for funding.

The 13th call for proposals will likely launch in 2023, the Greek ministry pointed out in an announcement.
