In 2020 EuroMarine organises three distinct, parallel calls:
- A call for proposals of activities (the present call)
- A joint EuroMarine-EMBRC call for access to EMBRC facilities
- A call for application for individual fellowships (targeting EuroMarine PhD students and scholars within five years of their doctoral degree, to let them attend an advanced course of their choice)
The general terms of these three calls have been preannounced on 27 February 2020.
OVERVIEW – CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR FWS AND WG
The eligible categories of activities that will be funded in 2020 are limited to:
- Foresight Workshops (‘horizon scanning’, FWS) – maximum funding: 7,500 €
- EuroMarine Working Groups (WG) addressing strategic services or issues and reinforcing the network – maximum funding: 5,000 €
In order to be eligible, FWS proposals should have a real foresight dimension and target a publication. While the call is open to any FWS topics, the Steering Committee would welcome proposals that: address EuroMarine priorities, as defined in EuroMarine’s 2018 publication Ocean Frontiers for Sustainable Development Manifesto; are relevant to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-30) in general and particularly to the interdependences of Sustainable Development Goals (as pointed out in the GSDR 2019 report).
Proposals should involve at least three 2020 Full (paying) Member Organisations of EuroMarine, from at least two different countries. (Please refer to the provisional 2020 membership list and the corresponding list of General Assembly representative, both attached to the present call, and do not hesitate to contact secretariat@euromarinenetwork.eu for any contact information).
Activities should in principle be carried out in 2021Â and any exemption should be justified in the proposal.
The two sets of proposals corresponding to the above two categories will be reviewed separately using specific criteria and specific pools of EuroMarine referees. The EuroMarine Steering Committee will make final decisions.
