Palaeoclimate science for a better understanding of Earth system dynamics

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €14 million for about 2 grants of €7 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 17 November 2026. Deadline: 4 March 2027.

What the call wants to achieve

• Better process understanding of past climate changes at different time scales, their variability and interactions with ecosystems, leading to improved Earth system models
• Future climate change scenarios produced in light of past changes in the Earth system, in particular warm climates/high sea-level situations, and abrupt transitions
• Identification of thresholds in Earth system components and better characterisation of driving mechanisms and feedbacks that may be responsible for non-linear behaviours, including indicators of abrupt changes, and early warning signals within palaeoclimate records
• Synthesis of climate variations that can serve as fundamental basis for IPCC assessments and benchmarks for model inter-comparisons.
