I. COLLABORATION WITH INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
• International visibility of the HyMeX program
• Integration in broad scientific networks
• Highlight of the main HyMeX scientific objectives
Link with WCRP/GEWEX (energy and water cycle: WG2, WG1)
• Endorsment
• CEOP/RHP
 Link with WWRP/THORPEX (extremes: WG3, WG4, WG5) programs of WMO
• Endorsment
• T-NAWDEX
Collaboration with MedCLVAR
• 3rd HyMeX workshop sponsorship
• HyMeX representative in the MedCLIVAR steering committee
• Co-organized meeting (e.g. within the Plinius conference in Barcelona
Extend and intensify collaboration with other Mediterranean
programs (MOON, MEDEX, …)  Coordinated lobbying action
International coll.&funding
II. US COLLABORATION AND NSF FUNDING FOR US HyMeX
• Existing proposal: multi-insititutional pre-proposal to the PIRE program at
NSF (collaboration with HyMEX/MERMeX) led by E. Anagnostou, entitled "A
US-Mediterranean partnership to advance climate change research through the
study of the HYDROlogical cycle, extremes and effects on ecosystem processes
in the MEDiterranean Basin-HYDROMED" (4 US institutions + institutions
from France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt within the
framework of HyMEX and MERMeX initiatives): submitted in February 2009.
• Other interest
• Precipitation: K. Friedrich (CU Boulder) and J. Wurman (CSWR) NSF/CSWR DOWs (Doppler on Wheels); J. Van Baelen and US investigator
(CSU) - NSF/NCAR wind profiler system and radiosondes (ISS) on a ship; J.
Gourley (NOAA/NSSL) - NSSL DOWs; W. Chau-Lee (NCAR)- research
interest in a heavy precipitation study over the Med employing ELDORA
(NSF/NRL); R. Rotunno (NCAR, research interest); R. Houze (UW), S. Yuter
(NCSU) (potential research interest)
• Other: A. Mariotti (Univ. of Maryland - climate aspects); V. Kourafalou
(Univ. of Miami - air-sea interactions and exchange of waters between the
Mediterranean and Black Seas); E. Gruntfest (CSU Colorado Springs societial impacts)

III. FUNDING AT NATIONAL LEVELS
• Identification of possible funding agencies in all countries forming the HyMeX
« consortium » e.g. in France, the consortium of the main French agencies (CIO)
has evaluated the French direct contribution to HyMeX to ~9 M€ (without
salaries) between 2009 and 2015 with a peak of ~8M€ between 2011 and 2013.
•Multi-lateral funding: Coordination of national fund raises (ANR, NERC,DFG,
…)
IV. PROJETS MÉDITERRANÉENS DE RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE INTERUNIVERSITAIRE (MERSI) FROM THE AUF (AGENCE UNIVERSITAIRE DE
LA FRANCOPHONIE)

south), 50 k€ max.  deadline: August, 31, 2009 for pre-project. 2-3 HyMeX
projects max.
• GPS proposal (O. Bock)
• Cooperation development with North African countries within HyMeX
(visits, grants, workshop, …) in relation with MedCLIVAR networking
• Algerian Radar upgrade project
International coll.&funding
V. FIRST CALL FOR STANDARD PROJECTS OF THE ENPI CBC
MEDITERRANEAN SEA BASIN PROGRAMME
4 Programme Priorities and 10 related Measures ( priority #2: “Promotion of
environmental sustainability at the basin level” representing 30% of total
budget i.e. 9.8 M€): up to 90% funding, 48 months max., 3 partners min. (1 from
EU Mediterranean Countries and 1 from Mediterranean Partner Countries,
from 0.5 to 2 M€ per project and at least 50% of the total eligible costs of a
project shall be dedicated to activities implemented in Mediterranean Partner
Countries deadline: September, 16, 2009. 2-3 HyMeX projects max.
• ii) prevention of natural risks (floods and fires)
• iii) water cycle management  Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Egypt
• ix) adaptation to the effects of climate change.

VI. FP7 FUNDING (PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF 2010 FP7 CALL DRAFT)
• Early warning systems to predict climate change related meteorological
hazards (droughts) in Africa ( WG2)
•Building a culture of risk prevention in Europe / Social science research,
natural hazards and decision making process ( WG5)
• Exploring new GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) applications in EO
( WG2, WG3)
• Identification and Networking of EO activities in the Balkan area ( WG2,
WG3, WG4)
• Impact of ocean acidification in the Mediterranean in a changing climate (
MerMeX,WG4)
Lobbying action to make FP7 call more “Mediterranean”
