Climate simulations data and knowledge for optimal support of IPCC Assessments and International Policy

This program aims to support research and innovation actions that enhance climate simulations and data for global policy support, bringing together a diverse range of eligible applicants from the EU and Global South to contribute to critical climate assessments.

This program funds research and innovation activities focused on advancing climate simulation capabilities, generating critical climate projections, and enhancing the underlying data infrastructure. The scope includes exploring complex climate feedback mechanisms and the impacts of global warming overshoot.

The funding for this program is provided as a grant, specifically a lump sum, designed to support significant research and innovation in climate simulations with a substantial maximum contribution per project.

Applicants must meet specific admissibility, eligibility, and capacity criteria outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes. The program emphasizes consortium-based applications and adherence to open science principles.

The application process is a single-stage electronic submission, followed by an evaluation based on predefined criteria and timelines, with detailed guidance available in official EU documents.

The program operates under the comprehensive legal framework of Horizon Europe, established by specific EU regulations and detailed work programmes.
