WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES OF 2026 CALL FOR THIS ACTION?

ENHANCING A CULTURE OF PREPAREDNESS ACROSS THE WHOLE OF SOCIETY AND PROVIDING RELIEF TO PERSONS FLEEING ARMED CONFLICTS AND OTHER VICTIMS OF DISASTER FROM NATURAL HAZARDS AND HUMAN-INDUCED RISKS

The Corps can contribute to developing a culture of preparedness that can help people across the whole of society, with particular attention to the most vulnerable groups, adapt to change and risks such as those related to health, security, economy or any other emerging threat. The Corps can also add significant value by contributing to the provision of relief and assistance to those whose lives, livelihoods and communities have been disrupted by disasters from natural hazards and human-induced risks, including armed conflicts. The importance of solidarity among individuals and communities, within or across borders, has become even more apparent with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting big inflow of displaced people into the EU, frequent occurrences of extreme weather events (e.g. floods and forest fires) as well as large-scale seismic events in certain countries. It is crucial to use the Corps’ potential to implement community-based activities that foster sustained empathy and solidarity among young people and also facilitate exchange and cooperation between people from different backgrounds.

Generic correlative and process-based models for climate suitability analysis for plant pests and diseases

Opened

Code: 38645 | Identifier Code: EUBA-EFSA-2025-PLANTS-05-02-Lot2 | Programme name: 29844 | Start submission calls: 27/11/2025 | End submission calls: 22/04/2026

In the context of this call, process-based models refer to simplified mechanistic models that estimate the environmental suitability for the growth, development, and persistence of plant pest and diseases. These models do not simulate or quantify explicitly population abundance but instead assess how favourable environmental conditions are for the establishment of the species.

Such models typically use climate-based thresholds or continuous response functions to represent the effects of temperature, moisture, or other abiotic factors on species-specific processes such as development rates, survival during adverse conditions (e.g., overwintering), or phenological development. The outputs often combine multiple suitability components to indicate overall potential for pest or pathogen presence or activity under given climatic conditions.

This lot include also the development and testing of solutions for running Species Distribution Models (SDMs) informed by process-based models and/or by indices derived from the organism’s physiology.

Generic physiologically-based population dynamics model for plant pests

These models simulate the biological and eco-physiological processes at the basis of population dynamics, both in space and time. They quantify the potential population abundance and geographical distribution based on the mechanistic understanding of their life history traits (e.g. development, mortality, reproduction).
