Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) | Forecasting Tipping Points
Event details
| Date | 23.09.2024 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: ARIA’s goal is to create an early warning system for tipping points that equips the world with the information we need to build resilience and accelerate proactive climate adaptation.
This programme is split into three technical areas (TAs). Projects that span all three TAs are strongly encouraged:
Design (TA1): Will design an affordable, sustainable and just sensing system that addresses our unmet observational needs in harsh environments
Deploy (TA2): Will deploy existing and new sensing systems in a coordinated multi-year field campaign, targeted at the Greenland Ice Sheet and Subpolar Gyre
Model (TA3): Will unlock mathematical, physical and computational methods necessary to characterise tipping point dynamics, the subsequent impacts and economic consequences of crossing tipping points
Duration: 3-5 years
Funding: ARIA expects to invest at least £10 million in TA1, £16 million in TA2 and £20 million in TA3 at the first (current) solicitation point (year 0).
Eligibility:
Deadline, Concept paper: 23 September 2024

Eligibility:
- Applications from across the R&D ecosystem, including individuals, universities, research institutions, small, medium and large companies, charities and public sector research organisations are welcomed
- Overseas applicants are advised that ARIA's primary focus will be on funding those who are based in the UK or those willing to conduct all or part of the project from the UK. However, funding will be available to applicants outside the UK if ARIA believes the proposed project can significantly benefit the UK (examples of benefit listed here, p.26)
Deadline, Concept paper: 23 September 2024
