Subject	Fwd: RE: AXA Research Fund: launch of a new call for projects
Dear all Jacquie had sounded very positive about this back in August, but it sounds like CSERGE are as stretched as much as people in CRU. I'm afraid it's looking like we're not going to be able to get anything together on this unless Rob is able to take a lead. But I think that we would still be lacking the interdisciplinary research team that AXA are stressing. Clare PS Rob - sorry not to have been in touch with you sooner about this, but I didn't know until Tuesday that you were interested/had been approached.

Never mind there will always be other opportunities.

The deadline is rapidly approaching - 3 October and after this week, I'm away at meetings until after the deadline. I also have two ARCC proposals and a DCMS tender to get sorted out this week. So, I am not going to be able to take any kind of a lead on this even if we think its worth trying to get a last minute proposal together. No-one else from CRU has time to take a leading role, but Colin and Maureen are interested. Colin has been working on the CRU weather generator which will be an integral part of the UKCIP08 user interface and Maureen has a broader impacts perspective and is lead author on the climate chapter in the forthcoming CII report. Simon Busby might also be interested - and has good experience of working with climate model outputs (although for a rather different purpose). One task for CRU would be to extend some of the validation work of the ENSEMBLES RCM runs. I should also be able to read and comment on material and provide some short draft sections of text (e.g., on ENSEMBLES, PRUDENCE, MICE and STARDEX) - I will have at least sporadic email access while away I hope. But I think this is only going to be viable if somebody from CSERGE or the decision-making group is able to co-ordinate things. And we don't have the capacity for hydrological modelling in CRU - so again, this would need input from others. Though there is also the requirement in the call to assess the quality of flood modelling tools currently licensed by insurers - about which I know nothing. If it would be helpful to have a quick meeting this week, Iet me know. Best wishes, Clare At 16:30 12/08/2008, you wrote: Dear Clare, Many thanks for this I think it would be an excellent opportunity for a CRU + other parts of the School response. I know Jan Alexander has already got a European bid through to second stage on floods. We could certainly put something together with the environmental decision-making components too. Lets discuss when you get back from holiday.

As you can see, as well as the climate science aspects, there is also a need to work on economic issues - so this could be a good opportunity for putting in a joint proposal with people in CSERGE or other parts of ENV. There are also additional collaborators on the climate and flooding aspects that we could involve both in the UK and Germany. I'm away from tomorrow for a couple of weeks, but the CRU people copied in on this email are also all interested in a potential proposal. Though currently we're not sure which if any of us has time to lead on this at least immediately.

The Climatic Research Unit may have been approached with the email reproduced below, and I just wanted to make sure you received the information. Sincerely Yours, Mathieu Choux ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Madam/Sir, The AXA Research Fund has been created in order to encourage research in a number of disciplines that touch on the risks, challenges and major transformations that affect our rapidly changing world. The Fund will award 100 million Euros over five years to finance innovative research. The AXA Research Fund team is delighted to announce the launch of a new call for projects on climate change impacts on the risk of flooding in st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Europe (see attached document) . All the information needed to apply can be found on our internet site: [6]http://researchfund.axa.com/en/research-funding/calls-projects/ Please make sure this information is communicated within your institution. The results of the selection process will be communicated to them as of January 15, 2009 .
