- 17. EC funded projects and the European climate adaptation platforms (CAP) Giulia Galluccio CMCC Foundation ISCD Research Division Director MAGICA project coordinator 07 February 2024 www.magica-project.eu
- 18. The MAGICA project in a nutshell Project name: Maximising the Synergy of European Research Governance and Innovation for Climate Action Type of action: Coordination and Support Action Project duration: June 2022- May 2026 (48 months) Consortium: 24 leading climate change research and boundary organizations from 13 European countries Project coordinator: CMCC Foundation
- 19. The MAGICA vision and mission MAGICA aims to accelerate the development, provision and exchange of knowledge from research and innovation to inform and support policy-making and climate actions. Our ambition is to guide future climate research. The MAGICA project operates at the heart of JPI Climate’s strategic priority of accelerating the development and transfer of knowledge from science to policy and practice within the European Research Area (ERA).
- 20. The MAGICA methodology A scientifically rigorous, democratic and open iterative process involving the strategic, scientific and social components of climate change research and innovation. The science-policy-society dialogue: The European Climate change adaptation conference (ECCA) The scientific debate: The design of the EU Strategic R&I Agenda (SRIA) The science-policy dialogue: The Equinox Summit and the launch of the European scientific assessment and stocktaking process
- 21. Possible interactions with CAPs Innovative climate knowledge exchange and transfer to enable societal transformation. Enhance the science-policy-society dialogue that also builds on already-existing knowledge exchange platforms and similar initiatives (national, transnational and European). Key knowledge and good practices exchange to build capacities across Europe for closing the gap between research and policy needs, as well as the need for translating scientific knowledge in a usable content.

- 25. Maximising Impact and Accessibility of European Climate Research 7 February 2024 Maria José Sanz Sanchez (BC3) and Sukaina Bharwani (SEI)
- 26. The Project | Introduction MAIA in brief Topic HORIZON-CL5-2021-D1-01-03 Subtopic A. Maximising the impact and synergy of European climate change research and innovation Type of action CSA – Coordination and Support Action Budget 4.049.234 € Project duration September 2022 – August 2025 Consortium
- 27. The Project | Context The MAIA project aims to act as an impact multiplier of climate research projects funded under the Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 programmes. = MAIA Projects results impact multiplier
- 28. The Project | Context Experience put in use MAIA brings together the previous experience of a carefully curated set of past and ongoing Horizon 2020 projects concerning innovation for climate resilience to allow a wide audience to access their results.
- 29. The Project | Context The aim is to make the current disperse knowledge more: Interoperable Accessible Usable & Render economically sustainable outcomes
- 30. The Project | Needs Climate change adaptation and mitigation are complex problems which require a systemic approach in coordination with changes in beliefs and behaviors of citizens and organizations. From individuals and stakeholders in participatory processes so they can access, internalize and act upon the right information. What’s needed? Engagement Social and technological structures as well as an active outreach campaign to accompany, potentiate and help maximise the impact of climate research. Provide
- 31. The Project | Expected Results Activation Activation of a pan-European community of climate-driven problem solvers and enablers. Coordination Successful coordination of the Climate Resilience Projects Cluster. Creation Of technological structures to connect knowledge and promote climate action. (MAIA Portal, Connectivity Hub, Semantic Ontology, Marketplace and regional branches, and the Training Platform) Expected results Maia has established a set of expected results to aim towards.
- 32. The Project | Target Selected targets EU, national, regional and local level. Innovation Ecosystem Enterprises and practitioners, urban and spatial planners, technicians and project managers, innovators, experts in climate planning, funders and investors. Scientific Community Both national and international Civil Society Including youth, high-impact professionals, forward-thinking strategists and the general audience These groups consist of the supply and demand side of climate services as well as adaptation and mitigation solutions. Policy and decision makers
- 33. The Project | Why MAIA? Climate research projects remain largely fragmented, resulting in limited reach, diffusion and exploitation. The visibility of project outputs often diminishes meaningfully once a project comes to its end. Lack of realistic business cases has limited the true impact and cost-efficiency of previous programmes. Current Issues Combined, these issues result in inefficiency, and lost opportunities to expedite progress in reducing the climate vulnerability of Europe’s regions. Limited reach Less visibility Reduced impact 1. 2. 3.
- 34. Connecting knowledge across-platforms - interoperability and standardisation for enhanced 'search and discovery'
- 35. Keyword tags Keyword tagging: Connecting relevant knowledge
- 36. Co-explore priority needs with users Language problem is huge: we should not expect that everybody speaks English, typically underestimated problem by academia!! The connection between science and practice should be supported ….too little coordination and planners, coordinators, etc have too little time to keep on top of all initiatives. Need a quick overview of who is doing what. People and outputs are equally important We need clarity on language (not a common language) It is difficult for us to have a clear vision about the different organisations involved in flood risk management and more generally DDR and CCA - this would be very useful
- 37. Using ‘search and discovery’ to enhance collaboration and coordination http://connectivity-hub.placard-network.eu
- 38. Encourage the use of common, shared, open terminologies
- 39. FAIR principles
- 40. Amplify visibility for source platforms and knowledge shared
- 43. Increase awareness and understanding

- 46. The Project | Why MAIA? So, why MAIA? Coordination to foster: Complementarity Cross-fertilization Coherence of research results
- 47. The Project | Why MAIA? Helps connect disperse knowledge related to climate change. Facilitates the access of a broad range of audiences to research results. Makes knowledge interoperable and usable. Key benefits
