The joint research call aims to protect and preserve the Wadden Sea's Outstanding Universal Value and integrity. It focuses on interdisciplinary research that creates knowledge with and for stakeholders and emphasises the importance of societal impact. The call commits to various frameworks, including the Trilateral Research Priorities and the national science agendas, to ensure meaningful change.
The deadline for full proposals is 6 July 2023.
Goals
The call invites consortia consisting of researchers and stakeholders to jointly develop project proposals addressing the cumulative effects of climate change, rapid change in biodiversity, pollution, and local human activities on the Wadden Sea ecosystem.
