Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East – Climate and Atmosphere Research (EMME-CARE)

The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East – Climate and Atmosphere Research (EMME-CARE) project, has been established with a view of creating a regional Centre of Excellence (CoE) for climate and atmosphere research in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region, which has been identified as a global climate change “hot spot”.

Through €45 million funding received from the European Union’s research and innovation program (under grant no. 856612) and the Cyprus Government, EMME-CARE upgraded the Atmosphere and Climate Division of the Cyprus Institute to create a new CoE – the Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (CARE-C).
