International Activity We work connected to the world CREAF has progressed from an institution with strong national focus to a well-established center of expertise in the Mediterranean region, becoming an international reference center on global change research.In the last years CREAF have consolidated its participation and leadership in projects from EU and international research programmes. Table A. CREAF proposals funded by the different programmes of the EU from 2014-2018 taula_projectes_uedef2.png International Networks (updated december 2018)CREAF researchers are active members of several relevant European and international research networks. Among them, the following ones are of proven scientific relevance and contribute to big science and impact at international level.Table B Acronim Network SCOPE PI involved Alter-Net Long-Term Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Awareness Research Network EU Joan Pino LTER Long Term Ecological Research Network, Spanish node EU Marisol Felip, Jordi Catalan IPBES Intergovernmental platform for biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Global Lluis Brotons, Jordi Bosch IPCC The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Global Jofre Carnicer, Josep Penuelas EBCC European Bird Census Council EU Sergi Herrando Silva Mediterranea Silva Mediterranea EU Enrique Doblas, Josep Penuelas CTP Comunitat de Treball dels Pirineus National Pilar Andrés, Enrique Doblas MRI Mountain Research Initiative EU Bernat Claramunt Euromontana European Association of Mountain Areas EU Bernat Claramunt RIIM Red Iberica de Investigación en Montaña Iberian Peninsula Bernat Claramunt NEMOR Network for European Mountain Research EU Bernat Claramunt Red Global de Restauración Ecológica Red Global de Restauración Ecológica Latin America Pilar Andrés ACCENT Atmospheric Composition Change: the European Network EU Josep Penuelas CGLS Copernicus Global Land Service EU Aleixandre Verger C3S Copernicus Climate Change Service EU Aleixandre Verger WssTP European Technology Platform for Water EU Anabel Sánchez, Olga Roig, Lluís Pesquer EIP Water European Innovation Partnership on Water EU Anabel Sánchez, Olga Roig EFI European Forest Institute EU Enrique Doblas EFIMED European Forest Institute Mediterranean Mediterranean Enrique Doblas FTP Forest Based Technological Platform EU Olga Roig, Enrique Doblas ESSC European Society for Soil Conservation EU Pilar Andrés GSBI Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative Global Xavier Domene IBI International Biochar Initiative Global Xavier Domene GEO Group on Earth Observations Global Joan Masó OGC Open Geospatial Consortium Global Joan Masó Belmont Forum Belmont Forum 'Knowlegde hub' USA Joan Masó EGU Earth and Space Science Informatics division EU Joan Masó ISOTC ISO/TC 211 Geographic Information / Geomatics Global Joan Masó CENTC CEN/TC 287 OGC - European Forum on geospatial standards EU Joan Masó ENEON European Observatory of Earth Observation Networks EU Joan Masó ECSA European Citizen Science Association EU Bernat Claramunt XFT Network Xylem Functional Traits network Global Jordi Martínez Vilalta, Maurizio Mencuccini IUSS International Union of Soil Sciences Global Josep M Alcañiz, Xavier Domene, Andrea Vidal EARMA European Association of Research Managers and Administrators EU Olga Roig ICP Forest International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests EU Rossella Guerrieri, Maurizio Mencuccini, Josep Peñuelas IAWA International Association of Wood Anatomists Global Elisabeth M.R.
