The International Synthesis Consortium
Global Joint Synthesis Call
“Interactions between Biodiversity and Climate Change”
This is the ISC’s exciting first initiative for a joint call involving multiple synthesis centres worldwide. With this approach, we are not only funding research projects tackling the interactions between biodiversity and climate change, but also fostering cross-working-group interactions to create meta-synthesis outcomes.
Synthesis Centres
Scientific synthesis* centres have become integral to research efforts in an era of increasingly complex societal and scientific problems, big data, and the knowledge economy. There are now more than a dozen synthesis centres across North America, Europe, China and Australia, spreading from their ecological origins to address the synthesis needs in biomedical sciences, mathematics, earth sciences, and genomics. Synthesis centres foster collaborative research by bringing interdisciplinary groups of specialists and experts together for …
