FCiências.ID - Associação para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Ciências (FC.ID)
FCiências.ID (FC.ID) is a Portuguese non-profit private research association. FC.ID was set up as a joint initiative of the Faculty of Sciences – University of Lisbon (FCUL) and 6 private companies, to support its partners’ Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) activities.
FC.ID’s team in FAIR2Adapt is part of the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (CE3C), a research unit at FCUL. We integrate multiple areas of knowledge, sectors, scales and disciplines, focusing on Climate Risk Management, Adaptation, Environmental Sciences and Sustainability. We combine our scientific expertise with a strong understanding of the practical needs of stakeholders across a wide range of environmental and climate policy processes, both public and private.
With a long-standing experience in national and international Climate Change research, we provide the scientific cooperation background of having coordinated the EU projects PLACARD (2015-2020) and CIRCLE2 ERA-Net (2010-2014), and the scientific expertise of having led work packages, task and case studies in MAGICA (2022-2026), REGILIENCE (2021-2025), RETHINKAction (2021-2025), PROVIDE (2021-2024), SOCLIMPACT (2017-2021) and IMPRESSIONS (2013-2018), among other projects.
Role in the Project
In FAIR2Adapt, FC.ID leads Work Package 6 on ‘Case studies and end-user applications’, leveraging and testing the FAIR2Adapt FAIRification framework and open data sharing protocols to support regions, cities and local authorities in their practical efforts to build resilience against current and projected risks of climate change. WP6 uses six case studies, covering a broad range of adaptation-relevant stressors, socio-ecological systems, geophysical scales and data management challenges. Within WP6, FC.ID tests, in practice, the FAIR2Adapt approach to examine the design of Portugal’s first National Adaptation Hub. Past work with national and local authorities in climate change adaptation is essential in this process, as well as FC.IDs’ participation in the upcoming EU projects REGILIENCEplus and AdaptationHubs, (to be started in 2025).
