Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change risks
IRISCC
A new, ambitious Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change risks (IRISCC) project is focusing on climate change driven risks. The project is coordinated by Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) and brings together 80 partners from across Europe and integrates research services by 14 research infrastructures (RIs) and e-infrastructures.
IRISCC, with a budget of almost €15 million, is a 54-month project with a mission to bolster society's capacity to tackle climate change risks and build resilience. We achieve this by offering access to interdisciplinary research platforms and data for researchers focusing on climate change risks.
IRISCC's Key Objectives:
- Support evidence-based policymaking for climate change adaptation and risk management.
- Facilitate high-quality research on climate change driven risks and its components.
- Provide a user-friendly, comprehensive service portfolio for climate change risk research.
- Ensure seamless integration across RIs and harmonise their access & data policies.
- Foster user engagement and co-creation of services with researchers and other stakeholders.
IRISCC serves a diverse range of users, including the research community, commercial entities, local, national and international risk managers, international agencies, policymakers, and society at large. IRISCC is committed to open knowledge sharing and wide capacity building. The project offers training programs to equip the new generation of researchers with the skills to use these integrated research services for impactful climate change risk research.
IRISCC marks a significant step forward in empowering a collective response to climate challenges. By harnessing the collective expertise of European RIs, this project equips us to build a more resilient future. IRISCC is funded by the European union under the Grant Agreement number: 101131261.
