The Climate CoP consists of GAIA, which is a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, located at University of Southern Denmark’s Climate Cluster, with the additional participation of the Research and Innovation Organisation (RIO), also part of the University of Southern Denmark. GAIA is poised to cultivate the next generation of experts in climate-relevant interdisciplinary science, equipping them with the skills, knowledge and networks needed to tackle the complex and urgent challenges of climate change. RIO engages in several activities related to climate innovation and plays a central role in the transition from research to innovation. This CoP is led by SDU and runs between autumn 2024 and spring 2026.
