Through ENRICH-TOGETHER, we seek to support independent post-doctoral researchers and their innovative and interdisciplinary research ideas under the umbrella theme of Green and Blue Transition. The open call invites submission of research proposals from post-doctoral researchers who are interested in a research and training experience of the highest international standards under the encompassing theme of Green and Blue Transition cross-cutting almost all disciplines, ranging from philosophy, international relations and economy to civil engineering, physics and marine sciences.
ENRICH-TOGETHER bridges Green Deal and Blue Growth under an all-encompassing theme of Green and Blue Transition. Drawing on the strategy of the EC to fully embed the blue economy into the Green Deal, ENRICH-TOGETHER underpins not only multiple EC priorities and Missions but also almost all of 17 SGDs of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the UN. As such, the research theme of ENRICH-TOGETHER does not only encourage excelling socially responsible research on global urgencies but also provides researchers a complete freedom of choice in the topic of their proposals.
