This global call for proposals aims to define and promote innovative risk management concepts that integrate the impacts of global change and the evolving relationship between societies and nature. Co-led by the French National Research Agency (ANR), the French Environmental Research Programming Agencies (FERPA), and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the Resilience Call expands on the previous "Disaster Risk, Reduction and Resilience" (DR3 2019) CRA. The initiative aims to foster a more holistic and transdisciplinary approach to risk science, aligning it with sustainability science principles.
Some expected outcomes of Resilience include advancements in risk science, enhanced co-production of knowledge, a concentrated focus on highly vulnerable territories, more informed governance, and the cultivation of a new generation of scientists and stakeholders equipped to address rising environmental risks. Projects submitted under this call are expected to incorporate elements from at least two of the three key areas:
- Better assessing the risks of the increasing complexity of global change.
- Paying specific attention to exacerbated vulnerabilities in highly exposed territories.
- Developing innovative solutions for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Funding will support research consortia composed of international partners from various disciplines. The project duration is 36 months. The deadline for the submission of registration proposals is 17 October 2025. Please note that German parts of proposals that cover mainly Geographical topics cannot be covered by DFG funds.
