Europe and Southeast Asia are increasingly suffering from the impact of climate change and related extreme weather events, rising sea levels and changing precipitation patterns. Adapting to these conditions and building local resilience are priorities in both regions.

Therefore, the European Commission (EC) and the JFS funding bodies have decided to dedicate the JFS 2024 call for proposals to the general area of CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND LOCAL RESILIENCE, and to support under the umbrella of this area research proposals for the following three topics towards sustainable green and blue economies.

Theme 1: Treatment and reuse of wastewater (industrial and municipal)
Theme 2: Underwater and surface biomass farms powered by renewable energy
Theme 3: Assessment and remediation of contaminated inorganic and organic soils

All the information about the call and how to submit proposals can be found here.
