The call is supported by Belmont Forum selected funding agencies from different countries including FAPESP for the participation of researchers in the State of São Paulo.
The three main topics that characterize this call are: “Understanding past and current variability and trends of regional extremes”, “Predictability and prediction skills for near‐future variability and trends of regional extremes” and “Co‐construction of near term forecast products with users”.

Collaborative research projects of multinational research teams for 36 to 48 months, beginning in early 2016, will be selected with a two-stage procedure (pre-proposal stage followed by a full proposal stage for the projects that successfully go through the first stage).
