The ANR joins the world’s major research funding bodies to support transnational projects on global change
The first call for proposals will be launched in 2012 with a total budget of around 20 M€. It will be funded and implemented in collaboration between the Belmont Forum and the G8HORCS. This "International Opportunities Fund call for proposals" will focus on two priority themes:

- Vulnerability of coastal systems
The ANR has committed to fund French teams involved in the selected projects. This agreement is related to the ANR programme “Society and Environmental Changes”
