The Belmont Forum invites applications for its resilience call - vulnerability and resilience management for socio-environmental systems in exposed territories. This is designed to foster transdisciplinary research around vulnerability and resilience management for socio-environmental systems in exposed territories. The call will invite proposals that address at least two of the following areas:
- area 1: better assess risks of increasing complexity with global change;
- area 2: pay specific attention to exacerbated vulnerabilities in highly exposed territories;
- area 3: develop innovative solutions for disaster risk reduction.
A research consortium should have at least three participating partner organizations established in three different countries (not including self-funding partners), and should request support from at least threeparticipating funding organizations involved in this call.
Research consortia must be truly transdisciplinary, thus including researchers from:
a) social sciences/humanities/economy and
b) natural sciences/technology, as well as
c) societal partners (i.e. citizens, industry, civil society organizations), using a co-design, co-development and co-implementation approach.
Application Deadline: October 17, 2025 (Preliminary Proposals); Full proposals by invitation only.
