7. CliK‘EU Strategic Objectives The joint programming initiative CliK’EU will aim at closing critical knowledge gaps by combining climate scientific approaches mediate between knowledge production and knowledge application allow societal decisions on mitigation and adaptation, based on common European understanding enable the European society to cope with climate change and to take responsibility support European policies by science based global scenarios.

8. CliK‘EU Research Objectives CliK’EU will further European research by seeking climate predictability on decadal timescale in Europe, developing science for advanced climate services, understanding societal transformation as well as societal contexts of response strategies, developing advanced integrated assessment tools for enhanced decision-making on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

9. CliK‘EU JPI CliK-EU Proposal

10. CliK‘EU Added-value, Benefits and Impact National research capacities fall short of meeting European demand.  CliK’EU will advance European integration in terms of response strategies improve planning and investment decisions facilitate societal application of the knowledge base deliver input into IPCC scenario process improve the base for climate change negotiations

11. CliK‘EU Links with other JPIs Urban Europe More years, better lives Healthy and productive seas and oceans Water Challenges for a Changing World Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change

12. CliK‘EU ERA-Nets JPIs International data and observation infrastructures International research co-operations Links within European and international Research Landscape

13. CliK‘EU Collaboration with ERA-Net CIRCLE-2 CIRCLE-2: research for climate impact analysis and adaptation response CliK‘EU will complement CIRCLE regarding addressed research questions CIRCLE-2 supports CliK‘EU (Letter of support) Many CIRCLE-2 partners involved in CliK‘EU facilitate intensive and non-bureaucratic interaction CIRCLE-2 is well-established instrument for transnational research funding

14. CliK‘EU Principles of Implementation Joint strategic framework: strategic and longlasting; defines challenges which Pan-European research will be facing in the next 10-20 years (SRA) implemented in differential partnerships; carried by the Member States within their own research and research funding capacities; capitalizing on the wealth of existing projects, programmes and structures; linked, where appropriate, to EU FP and other initiatives

15. CliK‘EU 4 Phases of Implementation Intensive consultation with partners, workshop, meetings Phase 1 Establishing a joint strategic framework Phase 2 Extensive mapping Strategic Research Agenda Phase 3 Designing work plans, responsibilities, instruments Phase 4 Implementation of planned activities Workshops, meetings etc. Differentiated process according to individual priorities Research programmes, joint funding measures etc. III / 2011 - I-II / 2011 - May 2010 III-IV / 2010

17. CliK‘EU A mature proposal fulfilling the JPI criteria:

18. CliK‘EU Criteria for JPI : MS commitment, pan-European challenges CliK’EU has got sufficient and effective MS commitment: 6 proposing members !!! 8 supporting partners The selected themes address pan-European / global (socio- economic or environmental) challenge!

19. CliK‘EU CliK‘EU focuses on the central research questions: Predictability on a 10-years timescale Development of climate services for decision-makers (user needs) Understanding societal transformation (constraints, societal contexts of response strategies) Decision Making Tools (Scenarios, assessment tools for strategic planning in different economic sectors)  Clear and realistic objectives! Criteria for JPI : The theme is sufficiently focussed

20. CliK‘EU CliK‘EU delivers the basis for European research in every sector which is affected by climate change… … and fits perfectly into the European research landscape by: Filling research gaps Building on ongoing activities (FP7, ERA-nets, ESFRI, …) National research capacities fall short of meeting collective demand of knowledge! Criteria for JPI : Clear added value

21. CliK‘EU Stakeholders have been involved in developing CliK’EU themes: Workshop with participants from 14 countries from science, environmental politics, meteorological institutes, research funding organizations, climate service centres, partners from other JPIs and CIRCLE-2 Written consultation after workshop took place. Further thematic workshops for the different modules will be held in second phase of JPI. Criteria for JPI : Stakeholder involvement

22. CliK‘EU CliK’EU delivers benefits for EU citizens by translating climate knowledge for decision-makers and EU stakeholders (climate service centres) involving the societal challenges providing assessment models for decision making in private enterprises, politics, civil society. Criteria for JPI : Benefits for EU citizens and competitiveness

23. CliK‘EU CliK’EU has potential for increasing efficiency and impact of public R&D: Systemic approach: Combining climate system research with socio-ecological research, climate services and scenario development. CliK‘EU will contribute to the realization of European and national strategies for Climate Change Adaptation CliK‘EU builds on key national, European and international initiatives. Criteria for JPI : Increasing R&D efficiency

24. CliK‘EU Let‘s start and face the challenges together!!! Thank you for your attention!
