This call will provide researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals with the opportunity to access cutting-edge research services and facilities addressing climate change-driven risks. Just like in the first call, proposals are welcome from across sectors, including academia, government, and industry, with no specific thematic focus. This is an excellent opportunity to access world-class infrastructure and services, supporting a wide range of research related to hazards, exposure, and vulnerabilities.
