2025_C3S2_G461 - C3S NCP Call for Proposals

Tender description

ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), invites applications under the C3S National Collaboration Programme Call for Proposals 2025. The ambition of C3S National Collaboration Programme (NCP) is to increase the use of C3S data and services at the national level by encouraging innovative applications through the development of climate services, fostering communication on how C3S data informs climate change and its impacts, and enhancing existing workflows that incorporate C3S-provided information. The NCP is a key mechanism to realise this objective as it aims to foster capacity building and co-development of services that directly address information needs for and data gaps in climate information of the collaborating Countries and support them in developing their own tools to respond to European and national policy needs. ECMWF invites Proposals for the development and implementation of activities designed to strengthen C3S uptake amongst Countries, in alignment with the C3S mandate as a climate data and information service and in response to both existing and emerging policy requirements at national and EU level. The Call is structured in the following five Actions: Action 2025-1 - Direct use of C3S products at the national level Action 2025-2 - Enhance open-access national observation databases Action 2025-3 - Transboundary cooperation to address common challenges Action 2025-4 - Transnational capacity building through twinning Action 2025-5 - Education and learning Portal instructions: Some of the Call documents are accessible under the ‘Attachments’ box at bottom right of this page.
