** For early-career researchers (PhD holders/ equivalent experience) based in Brazilian or UK institutions **

** ‘Challenge prize' grants up to £8,750 to be awarded during workshop! ** 

Application deadline: 30th April

The objective of the workshop is to empower and connect scientists, managers and traditional coastal communities in Brazil who seek legitimacy and representation at the interface between marine science, communication, citizen science and climate change. 

The event is a partnership between the Federal University of Alagoas (Brazil) and Manchester Metropolitan University (UK), and financed by the British Council. It also has the collaboration of researchers from the University of Manchester (UK), University of Exeter (UK), and the CESMAC University Center (Brazil) and the Secretariat of Environment and Water Resources of Alagoas (Brazil). 

The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for international collaboration, sharing research expertise, networking, and raising awareness of the impacts of climate change on coastal environments and communities.

During the workshop, participants will team up to develop Research-Intervention Action Plans (RIAPs) in one of the following categories: Ocean Science, Citizen Science, Science Communication, and Gender Equality. Teams will use their collective expertise to create strategies related to climate change adaptation and resilience in Brazilian coastal communities, with the best proposal in each category winning up to £8,750 for teams to carry out their projects over 6 months.

Participants will also benefit from talks and guidance from established researchers in the UK and Brazil, Brazilian government officials, and representatives from traditional Brazilian communities.
