Project description
Navigating tomorrow’s weather with innovation
As our planet grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, the need for effective climate information services (CIS) has never been more urgent. From the complexities of climate extremes to the challenges of data visualisation and decision sciences, navigating the climate landscape demands innovative solutions. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ClearClimate project aims to confront these issues. Specifically, it will assemble a diverse group of scholars with expertise in user-centred design, behavioural science and cutting-edge computational techniques, forming an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral network poised to revolutionise CIS development. This collaborative effort, bridging academia and industry, will cultivate expertise in climate change, data visualisation, decision sciences and more.
Objective
ClearClimate is aimed to create an International, Interdisciplinary, and Intersectoral (“3-i”) for creative scholars with strong theoretical and practical skills, needed to tackle the major challenges of the Climate Information Services (CIS) development. The focus will be on developing staff and partner skills in the areas of user-centred design and behavioural science coupled with improved computational techniques which in turn will offer more appropriate and efficacious CIS solutions. The researchers will upgrade their “soft skills” that will enable them to transfer effectively their knowledge to the productive world, thus fostering the European market to create innovation. These will result from a close partnership between the academy, providing the researchers with up-to-date training and knowledge on cutting-edge research on targeted multidisciplinary topics, and a group of industries, who will complete the competencies of the ERs and ESRs by exposing them to practical and real-life challenges in CIS development. The main domains of interest of the ClearClimate project lie in the interconnected areas of climate change and climate extremes, data visualization, decision sciences, communication, accessibility, eye tracking research methodology and visual attention models, and XAI, which are the most relevant disciplines for the development of the frameworks for effective CIS. Secondments, soft skills training, exploitation of scientific results, dissemination, and public engagement, play also a central role in this network since they are designed to promote the dissemination of excellent research and diffusion of innovation in Europe. The creation of such an international, cross-sectoral, multidisciplinary, and life-long network of ERs and ESRs, trained across sectors in an innovative way, will direct Europe to strengthen its international R&I.
