About

Microbial services addressing climate change risks for biodiversity and for agricultural and forestry ecosystems: enabling curiosity-driven research and advancing frontier knowledge.

MICROBES-4-CLIMATE (M4C) aims to deepen the comprehension of the complex relationships among microorganisms, plants, and soil within the framework of Climate Change. By offering access to advanced Research Infrastructures, training, and assistance, the project seeks to encourage research tackling the multifaceted challenges presented by Climate Change to terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems. By exploring these interactions, M4C strives to advance the understanding and facilitate the applied research directed at enhancing the resilience of plants and crops to the effects of Climate Change, thereby fostering sustainable and resilient agricultural methods.

Our Mission 

Specific  Objectives

Develop and refine frameworks and tools to facilitate access to data and data services essential for research on Climate Change.

Enhance the integration of services offered by multiple Research Infrastructures (RIs).

Provide comprehensive training and scientific/technical assistance to both RI staff and researchers/users to maximise the benefits of the available services and resources.

Simplify access to a tailored suite of efficient services (physical, remote, or virtual), aimed at supporting curiosity-driven research on Climate Change impacts on terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems, including agricultural and forestry systems.

Promote active engagement from the target user communities and ensure the long-term sustainability of services developed during the project duration.
