Within the 6th Framework Programme (2002-2006) for research, technological development and demonstration (RTD), environmental research is mainly funded under the "Global Change and Ecosystems" (GCE) thematic sub-priority.

This site provides information on the research activities to be funded by the European Commission under this sub-priority as well as support for the submission of proposals and project management.

Complementarily to the research areas defined under the "Global Change and Ecosystems" sub-priority, environmental research will also be financed through specific activities designed to provide Scientific Support to Policies (SSP).

• The objective of the SWITCH training workshop, in Lodz (Poland) on ‘Process documentation for learning alliances and action research’ is to equip participants with the necessary skills to undertake high-quality and innovative documentation of learning and change processes. This documentation will have advocacy and policy impact and lead to the improved dissemination of research results and uptake of findings. The training workshop is aimed at maximum 20 professionals involved in facilitating or documenting action research processes that typically involve a wider range of partners than traditional research.
