Effect studies and adaptation to climate change
The sub-programme «Effect Studies and Adaptation to Climate Change» aims to improve knowledge about the effects of climate change, about the adaptation capacities of society, and about the risks and opportunities that the effects of climate change may bring to the Nordic region.
Two calls are planned to be launched within the sub-programme, one is already launched:
A call for Nordic Networks was launched in August 2009 with deadline 13 November 2009. A Nordic Network brings together prominent research groups from at least three Nordic countries in order to strengthen and increase the quality of research and research training at the Nordic, European and international level.
Interdisciplinary applications are encouraged. Participants from industry, policy makers and societal actors should be included in the Nordic Network when relevant. The sub-programme intends to fund 10 Nordic Networks. Each Network may receive up to NOK 300.000 per year for up to three years.
A call for Nordic Centres of Excellence (NCoE) is planned to be published in December 2009. The main objective of a NCoE Programme is to create added value through Nordic cooperation and further increase the visibility and the scientific quality of Nordic research.
The total budget of the call is approximately 100 MNOK, and the sub-programme intends to fund 3-4 Nordic Centres of Excellence.
