Description
Horizon Europe, the ambitious research and innovation initiative launched by the European Union for the years 2021-2027 and boasting a budget of €95.5 billion, calls for circular economy and bioeconomy sectors with the program, “Exploring extreme environments: novel adaptation strategies at molecular level for bio-based innovation”, the goal of which is to improve and utilize knowledge of the adaptation of terrestrial and aquatic organisms on molecular, physiological and ecological levels as well as the understanding of how they adapt to climate change which includes resistance to extreme temperatures, drought/water stress, salinity or amplified biotic stresses (new pests) as seen at the macro-scale.
The scope includes understanding the complicated relationships between the affected groups (e.g., molecular signaling) as well as the broader ecological implications. International collaboration is particularly encouraged in order to maximize impact.
The planned opening date is October 28, 2021.
The deadlines are February 15, 2022, 17:00:00 Brussels time and September 1, 2022, 17:00:00 Brussels time.
