Our Science
MOSAICO is funded through multiple projects financed in public calls related to proactive (landscape-level) wildfire prevention and related ecosystem services. In this section you can access our specific projects and download the main scientific and technical outputs
Projects
Resist
https://resist-project.eu/
2023-2027
RESIST is a five-year EU-funded project that has emerged from the need to make regions more resilient to climate change. The effects of environmental changes are a reality affecting our societies in many ways. We need to adapt to the current and predicted effects of climate change by taking action.
Fire Poctep
https://firepocteplus.eu/
2024-2026
Resilient landscape in the face of large wildfires:
Emergency response, enhanced interoperability, operational and social capacity building in the face of climate change.
Life
https://life.cimvdl.pt/
2021-2023
This project aims to develop large-scale measures to prevent forest fires, preserve biodiversity, increase forest resilience, empower decision-makers regarding the benefits of prevention, as well as identify a set of options and measures for local adaptation that will allow us to identify and suggest actions to reduce current and future territorial vulnerability in the region.
Desert Adapt
http://www.desert-adapt.it/
2017-2023
The Main Goal of Desert-Adapt is to demonstrate innovative climate adaption strategies and technologies to improve land quality, soil conservation and plant support for private and public lands in Mediterranean areas under desertification risk.
