The Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) STI Framework Programme is on the lookout for outstanding research projects in 2023. This program has a unique goal: to support top-notch research in areas that can benefit from a global approach. It aims to foster collaboration among researchers and institutions across the BRICS nations. Check this BRICS 6th Call for Proposal 2023 – Climate Change Research Opportunity.
Focus Area: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
The BRICS STI Framework Programme is particularly interested in projects related to Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation. For research to be impactful, it should tackle one or more of the following critical challenges:
- Building Resilience: This involves adapting and responding to climate change challenges at the local level, especially at the catchment scale. Researchers will explore innovative ways to make communities more resilient in the face of climate change.
- Earth Observation Technology: Cutting-edge technology plays a pivotal role in assessing the impacts and consequences of climate change. Earth Observation technology will be used to study these changes comprehensively.
- Systematic Response: The WEF (Water, Energy, Food) nexus approach will be employed for cross-sectoral management of climate change. This integrated approach recognizes the interconnectedness of these essential elements and seeks sustainable solutions.
- Risks to Coastal Areas: Low-lying coastal areas face unique challenges due to climate change. Researchers will delve into the risks and solutions for these socio-ecological systems.
How to Submit BRICS Call for Project Proposals
For those eager to contribute to this important research initiative, detailed guidelines and submission formats for Project Proposals can be found at the following link: BRICS 6th Call for Proposal Guidelines.
This program encourages researchers from at least three of the BRICS nations to collaborate and address the pressing issues of our time. By working together, we can make a significant impact on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a global effort to combat climate change. Your research could make a world of difference.
