貝蒙論壇(Belmont Forum, BF) 為國際上推動永續科學相關機構所組成的重要組織，我國科技部為其正式成員。貝蒙論壇以不同主題之多邊合作研究行動方案 (Collaborative Research Actions, CRAs) 徵求永續科學研究計畫。2020 年釋出的第一個 CRA 為 "Towards Sustainability of Soils and Groundwater for Society"。原則上提案通過國際審後，科技部將給予支持(提案人需具備申請科技部計畫之資格)。

提案說明及相關文件下載請參考下列連結網頁。提案人需於7月23日前註冊，8月24日 前送出計畫書。

研究案的主要考量如下：

(1) 國際合作：計畫中的跨國團隊至少有 3 個所屬國家之BF成員組織已同意提供經費參與此 CRA (目前共9個會員組織參與，含科技部)。

(2) 跨領域/學科 (自然、科技、社會、經濟、或人文科學)，以解決問題為導向，並引入權益關係人共同設計、共同產出、以達到共同效益。

詳情請洽科技部永續學門。

We are delighted to inform everyone on the launching of Belmont Forum’s collaborative research call on the theme: Towards Sustainability of Soils and Groundwater for Society.

Belmont Forum (BF) is a partnership of funding organizations, international science councils, and regional consortia committed to the advancement of sustainable science. Taiwan’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) is one of the full members. The BF has developed Collaborative Research Actions (CRAs) calling for proposals, and "Towards Sustainability of Soils and Groundwater for Society" is the first CRA in 2020. After international review, MOST will support the project. (Proposer must be qualified to submit a project to MOST.)

The main considerations of the study are as follows.

1. International cooperation: Each proposal must consist of a project co-developed by researchers that are from at least three countries and entitled for support from funding organizations participating in the CRA. (A total of 9 funders, including MOST, have participated for this call.)

2. Transdisciplinarity: To integrate our knowledge from stakeholders, nature, humanities, and social sciences into transdisciplinary solutions for specific actions.

Details of the call and the application process are provided via the application portal https://reurl.cc/3Dbp7M

Registration Due: 23 July 2020, 13:59 UTC
