\n

Twelve JPI Oceans member countries together with Brazil launch a call for transnational research projects<\/a><\/strong> of approx. 9.2 M\u20ac to study the sources, distribution and impact of microplastics in the marine environment.<\/p>\n

Main themes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identification, characterisation and quantification of the major microplastic sources, especially mechanisms and time scales of macroplastic fragmentation<\/li>\n
  2. New sampling and analytical methodologies \u2013 focusing on the smaller (nano-)particles and in situ measurement methods for all matrices (water, sediment, biota)<\/li>\n
  3. Monitoring and mapping of microplastics in the marine environment including its effects on the marine environment<\/li>\n
  4. Concepts to reduce inputs of plastics into the marine environment including through new recycling methods, raising public awareness, promoting behavioural change, socio-economic analyses<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rules for Participation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Each application must address at least one of the four themes of the call. Please note that not all funding partners<\/a> will fund applications in all topic areas.
    \nProposals need to involve eligible research partners from at least three participating countries. Projects will be funded for up to 36 months. The maximum requested funding per proposal is \u20ac 2,000,000.
    \nDetails of the call and the application process are provided on the call home page:     https:\/\/epss-jpi-oceans.ptj.de\/call2018<\/a>
    \nThe Estonian funders<\/strong> are the Ministry of the Environment (call topics 1-3) and Estonian Research Council (call topics 1-4).
    \nThe grant amount for the Estonian partner is up to EUR 100 000 per project<\/strong>.
    \nEligibility requirements for Estonian partners<\/strong> are listed     HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Estonian partners are asked to contact the Estonian contact persons prior to submitting the application<\/strong>:
