Proposals

PEGASuS 2: Ocean Sustainability is an open call for research projects that focus on synthesis research for ocean sustainability. Based on the successful model implemented by NCEAS, PEGASuS 2 will support up to four separate working groups to be based at NCEAS in Santa Barbara, California. Additionally, one postdoctoral fellow will be supported to engage with selected research teams.

Thematic areas for this solicitation were developed through a global scoping process lead by Future Earth, followed by additional consultations co-lead by Future Earth and the Belmont Forum.

Call for Nominations are open for the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science Awards 2019.

The Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA) has opened two calls through the Marine and Coastal Science for Management (MASMA) programme. These calls both have application deadlines of 15 June 2018.

The first of these calls is a call for research proposals. These proposals can receive funding of up to  $330,000, and these will be awarded to researchers who carry out research in the Western Indian Ocean region. The second advertised call is for proposals to support organizations of training courses/workshops and Publications of books/manuals.

The EKLIPSE network is looking for individuals to submit an idea for a seminar, short course, or other forms of educational material or training events for capacity training.

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is currently accepting nominations for the 2018 Young Researchers Award. This annual programme aims to foster innovative research and discovery in biodiversity informatics by graduate students whose master’s and doctoral studies rely on GBIF-mediated data. 

A pilot project, 'Science Meets Parliament / Science Meets Regions' is being funded by the European Parliament in 2018. This call for expression of interest wants to bring together partners to organise events under the full ownership of the relevant authorities. The commission is exploring the possibility of funding up to 28 different events with up to €30,000 in funding.

The Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) is responsible for the implementation of the open call for proposals for Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs), Innovation Actions (IAs - DEMOs and FLAGs) and Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs), in line with the Horizon 2020 rules for participation. The call has recently opened, and will remain so until September.

This call is the fifth in a total of seven calls between 2014 and 2020. The Call comprises of four main strategic orientations: Feedstock, Process, Products, and Market uptake.

The CORBEL partners have launched a 2nd Open Call for research projects to meet the prevailing need for combined service provision from multiple research infrastructures across Europe. Taking on board lessons learned from the 1st CORBEL Open Call launched in 2016 and the services running since then, this will continue to provide all academic and industrial scientists in Europe with the opportunity to accelerate their research.
