The MAIA project aims to act as an impact multiplier of climate research projects funded under the Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 programmes. The goal of the project is to make the current disperse knowledge more interoperable, accessible, usable, and rendering the outcomes more economically sustainable.
MAIA has established a set of expected results to aim towards the interconnection of the current and existing EU-funded climate change research projects. The foreseen outputs of MAIA are linked to the following concepts: coordination, creation and activation.
- Coordination of technological structures to connect knowledge and promote climate action. Such structures include: MAIA Portal, Connectivity Hub, MAIA Semantic Ontology, Marketplace and branches, and the Training Platform.
- Creation of successful coordination of the Climate Resilience Projects Cluster.
- Activation of a pan-European community of climate-driven problem solvers and enablers.
Key Benefits
- Helps connect disperse knowledge related to climate change by generating synergies among existing and on-going EU-funded climate change research projects.
- Makes knowledge interoperable and usable by delivering close-to-market outputs and diffuse innovation in products, services, and processes, and reinforcing the deployment of innovative solutions.
- Facilitates the access of a broad range of audiences to research results, thus assuring that climate change knowledge is available and accessible to a wide range of stakeholders.
