MAIA Context
Tackling climate change requires coordinated, cross-sectoral collaboration
But complex, multi-sectoral challenges cause inefficiencies and missed opportunities to reduce the vulnerability of European regions to climate change.

MAIA answers specific challenges identified by the European Commission:
Limited reach
EU-funded climate change projects aren’t well connected, resulting in limited reach, diffusion and exploitation.
Less visibility
The visibility of a project’s outputs often diminishes meaningfully once that project ends.
Reduced impact
Lack of viable business cases has limited the true impact and cost-efficiency of previous research programs.
These challenges limit the impact of climate change research.
And our ability to respond to threats and take advantage of opportunities.
At the same time, there’s growing public demand for reliable scientific information: Citizens, policymakers and organisations need access to insights from EU-funded climate projects to inform decision-making, actions and behaviours.
But it’s harder than ever to cut through the noise and misinformation and find what you need among multiple disconnected platforms, channels and sources.

We support climate adaptation and mitigation projects to amplify their impact.
MAIA offers tools, methodology and experts to help climate research projects funded under the Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 maximize their dissemination.
