Launch of the First Audacious Sustainability Grant (ASG) – Decarbonization!
The FNRS is launching a new funding instrument specifically focused on sustainability issues: the Audacious Sustainability Grant (ASG). This first ASG is dedicated to decarbonization challenges.
The ASG-DECARBONIZATION call is part of the field of decarbonization and mitigation of carbon emissions, with the central ambition to promote the development of concrete solutions to prevent or reduce climate change, as well as limit its impacts . It should therefore not improve our understanding of climate change and its mechanisms, but rather support research based on exact and natural sciences (SEN) and oriented towards operational responses. The research projects should contribute, in a tangible way, to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions or their sustainable management. It is therefore intended to support research projects developing innovative mitigation approaches, whether it concerns carbon capture, reduction or transformation technologies, the development of green technologies with high disruptive potential, or even effective strategies for managing and strengthening large natural ecosystems.
The objective of this call is to support research projects addressing sustainable issues linked to decarbonization with an original and audacious character, but which do not find support in traditional funding circuits due to a lack of preliminary data, the absence of previous work or an unusual methodology. The ASG is made possible thanks to private patronage.
