JPI Oceans has pre-announced an upcoming Joint Call on Consequences of Changing Marine Lightscapes aiming to close critical gaps in our understanding of the drivers and ecological impacts of changing marine lightscapes resulting from both Coastal Darkening and Artificial Light at Night.
Proposals should address one or more of the following consequences of changing marine lightscapes:
- Biodiversity, biogeography, and biogeochemistry, including primary production
- Photobiology and ecophysiology, including light-induced seasonal timing of organismal behaviour
- Ecosystem functioning and food web architecture, and ecosystem services including sustainable fisheries
Eligibility:
- Each application must involve eligible research partners and/or industry partners from at least two participating countries (countries of the FUNDING PARTNERS); no maximum number of partners is specified. Applicants from countries not funding this call may participate as ASSOCIATE PARTNER with their own resources (cash or in-kind).
Timeline:
- Call publication: 2 April 2024
- Deadline for submitting proposals: 30 May 2024 – 17:00 CEST
