Modelling land use and land management in the context of climate change

This program specifically targeted research entities and other organizations within EU Member States and Associated Countries. Its primary objective was to enhance land use and land management modelling, providing essential data and insights to support climate and agricultural policies and contribute to the European Green Deal. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) could participate in funded projects to ensure data compatibility and accessibility.

The program focused on research and innovation activities related to land use and land management in the context of climate change, with a strong emphasis on agricultural and forest sectors. Projects were expected to deliver advanced modelling and analysis to inform policy and promote sustainable practices, primarily through Research and Innovation Actions.

This funding program provided financial support in the form of grants, with a significant budget allocation of 10,000,000 EUR for this specific topic. The funding was structured to support research and innovation actions that would contribute to the program's objectives.

Applicants were required to adhere to general admissibility and eligibility conditions, including financial and operational capacity criteria. Collaboration in consortia was expected, and projects had to align with the 'Do No Significant Harm' principle.

The application process for this call has concluded, with proposals submitted by the specified deadline. The evaluation process has been completed, and applicants have been informed of the results, leading to the expected signing of grant agreements.

The program operates under the comprehensive legal framework of Horizon Europe, established by specific EU regulations and decisions. Key governing documents outline the rules for participation, financial management, and program implementation, ensuring transparency and compliance.
