The Climate-Environment-Society consortium aims to encourage, support and coordinate interdisciplinary research into climate change and its repercussions on society and the environment.  It supports projects by using a system based on calls for projects, with the aim of:

• Offering chairs of excellence to top level researchers;
• Hosting young researchers or groups of young researchers on the basis of innovative projects that require the rapid setting up of a small team;
• Funding new projects, especially of an interdisciplinary nature, and possibly articulated with European and international programmes;
• Funding structuring projects or platforms that aim to improve interface with society about the issues addressed by the consortium;
• Funding international collaborations on the issues addressed by the consortium;
• Co-funding interdisciplinary PhDs;
• Setting up information and training activities.
