Further funding opportunities
Public-Private Partnerships
The "Public Private Partnership on Sustainable Process Industry through Resource and Energy Efficiency" (SPIRE) will fund innovative projects for resource and energy efficiency.
Public-Public Partnerships
Several Member States have established Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) issuing calls for proposals that might also be interesting in the context of research on climate change:
- Joint Programming Initiative Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change
- Joint Programming Initiative on Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe
- Joint Programming Initiative on Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans
- Joint Programming Innitiative Urban Europe
- Joint Programming Initiative on Water Challenges for a Changing World
ERA-Nets
In the case of projects published as programme co-funding actions, the EU co-finances funding programmes or calls for proposals of other entities, e.g. national research organisations and research funding organisations.
A detailed overview on currently running ERA-Nets and more public-public partnerships is available on "ERA-LEARN".
EIT
Within the framework of the "European Institute of Innovation and Technology", the Knowledge and Innovation Community "Climate-KIC" brings together climate-related aspects of education, research, technology and entrepreneurship.
Other EU-Programmes
There are further thematic synergies with other EU-funding instruments like the new LIFE programme (2014-2020 / NKS) of DG Environment. Both sub-programmes "Climate Action" and "Environment" allocate funding for projects, which deal with climate change and adaptation, environment and resource efficiency, biodiversity, climate and environmental governance and information.
The following topic-related Directorates-General (DG) occasionally allocate funding via calls for proposals and calls for tender:
- DG Environment
- DG Climate Action
- DG Agriculture and Rural Development
- DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
- DG International Cooperation & Development
