We are pleased to announce the MEDJICARP Spring School 2027, which will take place from 6 to 8 April 2027 at the University of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.

The school is organized by the University of Palermo (Engineering Department) and the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) within the framework of the INTERREG NEXTMED MEDJICARP project (Mediterranean Joint Initiative for Climate Adaptation and Risk Prevention).

The Spring School will focus on integrated coastal ocean observing systems, with particular attention to HF radar, FerryBox systems, fixed platforms and other marine monitoring tools for studying currents, waves and key environmental variables. It will combine introductory and technical sessions with practical applications (e.g. related to climate change, extreme events, coastal protection, marine monitoring and operational oceanography).

Financial support will be awarded on a competition basis, with contributions of up to € 1500 for European Union Mediterranean Countries (EUMC) applicants and up to € 2000 for Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC), subject to available funds.
