MAGICA is organizing a workshop on Societal Transformation in Brussels on 21 October 2025 (Date is TBC). The workshop is implemented under the Equinox Process, a flagship initiative of JPI Climate, and aims to frame societal transformation in the context of the current political priorities of the European Commission, with a focus on resilience and adaptation. The workshop discussions will inform the new EU Climate Adaptation Plan and future research priorities.
The workshop is linked to the JPI Climate Action Group Enabling Societal transformation (AG EST) under which a transnational call SOLSTICE, based on a white paper, was launched in 2019, funding seven projects through 2023. A second SOLSTICE call is in the plans for the AG EST of JPI Climate.
The outcomes of the workshop should provide recommendations to research funders to address key knowledge gaps and advance societal transformation for climate action. This includes informing the funders shaping the scope and content of the next phase of the SOLSTICE call.
