GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Proposals should address all of the following:

• Set forth improved user-defined data manipulation tools that can be used, reused and further developed, thereby contributing to an ecosystem of readily available tools and integrated information services. The tools developed should be designed as a component of decision support tool for public authorities integrating socio-economic aspects and allowing them to assess risk-reduction benefits of various adaptation solutions across several regions.
• Develop a gap-analysis of accessibility, usability, customization and adaptability of existing European relevant information (including climate, socio-economic, demographic information) services with respect to user needs at regional and community levels.
• Identify data availability and data accessibility gaps, and overcome barriers and limitations of existing approaches.
• Discuss with and engage local communities and all relevant stakeholders (e.g., experts, policy-makers etc.) in a given region, in knowledge-sharing and production, testing the technology itself and making sure all knowledge, relevant to climate resilience, is represented.

Priority should be given to regions or communities with high vulnerability, limited resources and/or low adaptive capacity to climate change impacts.
