The AdaptAction programme, co-financed by the European Union and AFD, is launching a call for research projects on adaptation in the Mediterranean region. This call for expressions of interest constitutes the first phase of the selection process. It aims to fund up to three research projects, with activities starting during the fourth quarter of 2026 and ending by 30 April 2028.
Projects will need to build on climate and impact data already available. This call will not fund new exercises in climate modelling, downscaling, producing climate scenarios or generating new biophysical impact data.
The humanities and social sciences should be at the heart of the proposals. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, but proposals that are exclusively technical, climate or biophysical will not meet the objectives of this call.
Proposals for research projects should be submitted in either French or English. Any research papers may be written in French, English or Arabic.
Please follow this call for detailed background.
Projects should focus on one or more of the eight countries of intervention of the program in the region: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Syria. The selection process will give priority to projects involving at least two countries.
