Climate Change Impacts on Regional Ecosystems – Call for expression of interest

Although climate change is a global phenomenon, its influence on ecosystems varies from region to region depending on local specificities, giving rise to the need in accurate and cross-sectional knowledge on the consequences of climate change as a function of territorial characteristics.

In this context, the French National Research Agency, spurred on by Normandie and in collaboration with Pays de la Loire, is launching the call for expression of interest “Climate Change Impacts on Regional Ecosystems” to help identify research topics related to climate change in all its dimensions and in particular to water-related issues which constitute a key topic for these coastal territories where agricultural and industrial activities are important economic sectors.”

This call for expression of interest is open to all French public research institutes, territorial authorities, private partners and end-users. In line with the cross-cutting nature of the thematic of this call, proposals should provide a transdisciplinary approach to tackle relevant questions around water issues. Moreover, particular attention will be paid to the cooperative dimension of the proposal between neighbouring regions bordering the Channel and Atlantic coastlines.
