  1. International coll.&funding • Roundtable 4C • COORDINATION WITH INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS AND AGENCIES • P. Drobinski & P. Lionello

  2. International coll.&funding • I. COLLABORATION WITH INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS • • International visibility of the HyMeX program • • Integration in broad scientific networks • • Highlight of the main HyMeX scientific objectives • Link with WCRP/GEWEX (energy and water cycle: WG2, WG1) • Endorsment • CEOP/RHP • Link with WWRP/THORPEX (extremes: WG3, WG4, WG5) programs of WMO • Endorsment • T-NAWDEX • Collaboration with MedCLVAR • • 3rd HyMeX workshop sponsorship • • HyMeX representative in the MedCLIVAR steering committee • • Co-organized meeting (e.g. within the Plinius conference in Barcelona • Extend and intensify collaboration with other Mediterranean programs (MOON, MEDEX, …)  Coordinated lobbying action

  3. International coll.&funding • US COLLABORATION AND NSF FUNDING FOR US HyMeX • Existing proposal: multi-insititutional pre-proposal to the PIRE program at NSF (collaboration with HyMEX/MERMeX) led by E. Anagnostou, entitled "A US-Mediterranean partnership to advance climate change research through the study of the HYDROlogical cycle, extremes and effects on ecosystem processes in the MEDiterranean Basin-HYDROMED" (4 US institutions + institutions from France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt within the framework of HyMEX and MERMeX initiatives): submitted in February 2009. • Other interest • Precipitation: K. Friedrich (CU Boulder) and J. Wurman (CSWR) - NSF/CSWR DOWs (Doppler on Wheels); J. Van Baelen and US investigator (CSU) - NSF/NCAR wind profiler system and radiosondes (ISS) on a ship; J. Gourley (NOAA/NSSL) - NSSL DOWs; W. Chau-Lee (NCAR)- research interest in a heavy precipitation study over the Med employing ELDORA (NSF/NRL); R. Rotunno (NCAR, research interest); R. Houze (UW), S. Yuter (NCSU) (potential research interest) • Other: A. Mariotti (Univ. of Maryland - climate aspects); V. Kourafalou (Univ. of Miami - air-sea interactions and exchange of waters between the Mediterranean and Black Seas); E. Gruntfest (CSU Colorado Springs - societial impacts)

  4. International coll.&funding • FUNDING AT NATIONAL LEVELS • Identification of possible funding agencies in all countries forming the HyMeX « consortium »e.g. in France, the consortium of the main French agencies (CIO) has evaluated the French direct contribution to HyMeX to ~9 M€ (without salaries) between 2009 and 2015 with a peak of ~8M€ between 2011 and 2013. • Multi-lateral funding: Coordination of national fund raises (ANR, NERC,DFG, …) • PROJETS MÉDITERRANÉENS DE RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE INTER-UNIVERSITAIRE (MERSI) FROM THE AUF (AGENCE UNIVERSITAIRE DE LA FRANCOPHONIE) • 10 funded projects: 50% funding, 36 months max., 3 partners min. (2 from the south), 50 k€ max.  deadline: August, 31, 2009 for pre-project. 2-3 HyMeX projects max. • GPS proposal (O. Bock) • Cooperation development with North African countries within HyMeX (visits, grants, workshop, …) in relation with MedCLIVAR networking • Algerian Radar upgrade project

  5. International coll.&funding • FIRST CALL FOR STANDARD PROJECTS OF THE ENPI CBC MEDITERRANEAN SEA BASIN PROGRAMME • 4 Programme Priorities and 10 related Measures ( priority #2: “Promotion of environmental sustainability at the basin level” representing 30% of total budget i.e. 9.8 M€): up to 90% funding, 48 months max., 3 partners min. (1 from EU Mediterranean Countries and 1 from Mediterranean Partner Countries, from 0.5 to 2 M€ per project and at least 50% of the total eligible costs of a project shall be dedicated to activities implemented in Mediterranean Partner Countries deadline: September, 16, 2009. 2-3 HyMeX projects max. • ii) prevention of natural risks (floods and fires) • iii) water cycle management  Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Egypt • ix) adaptation to the effects of climate change.

  6. International coll.&funding • FP7 FUNDING (PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF 2010 FP7 CALL DRAFT) • Early warning systems to predict climate change related meteorological hazards (droughts) in Africa ( WG2) • •Building a culture of risk prevention in Europe / Social science research, natural hazards and decision making process ( WG5) • Exploring new GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) applications in EO ( WG2, WG3) • Identification and Networking of EO activities in the Balkan area ( WG2, WG3, WG4) • Impact of ocean acidification in the Mediterranean in a changingclimate( MerMeX,WG4) • SPACE AGENCIES FUNDING • GPM mission • SMOS, … • UNIVERSITY NETWORKS • Lobbying action to make FP7 call more “Mediterranean” • Coordination needed with the ISSC for bottom-up (information on calls) and top-down (coordination, help in consortium set-up,...) information
