EURO-MEDITERRANEAN CENTER ON CLIMATE CHANGE (CMCC)
The Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) is a multidisciplinary and advanced research center focusing on the interaction between climate change and society. The center produces rigorous and reliable scientific results by integrating climate and socio-economic modeling and merging expertise from the multiple disciplines involved in climate research and decision-making. CMCC’s organization facilitates interdisciplinary dialogue across the entire climate change research chain, supporting the development of science-driven adaptation and mitigation policies in a fast-changing world. CMCC is one of the global leaders in combining first-class climate modeling with climate change impact modeling and environmental economics, aiming to find solutions to the challenges that will characterize the future decades.
RESEARCH INSTITUTES
CMCC research is organized into three research institutes, hosting Earth systems and social sciences experts from all over the world who collaborate in a highly multidisciplinary environment. The close collaboration between these three institutes guarantees a cross-disciplinary exchange that allows the center to work on the multiple and related dimensions of climate change, including its social and economic impacts, and the technological dimension. The three CMCC Research Institutes are: - Institute for Earth System Prediction (IESP) - Institute for Climate Resilience (ICR) - European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)
RESEARCH STRATEGY
CMCC and its research revolve around four strategic programs that address frontier questions on the socio-economic and environmental shifts in a future shaped by climate change. Three strategic programs work in synergy and close collaboration with the CMCC Institutes. Whilst, a fourth program builds on CMCC’s vast model production to advance the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning within the model chain. The four CMCC Programs are: Integration of the planetary biogeochemical and industrial carbon cycle Predicting socio-economic impacts of climate change Global coasts as a new frontier Integrating AI and ML in the modeling chain
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING CENTER - HPCC
The High Performance Computing Center (HPCC) in Lecce is the infrastructure that enables CMCC to produce, manage, and archive large climate change datasets. Founded in 2008, the CMCC HPCC is among the most cutting-edge computational facilities in Europe and the most powerful in Italy, entirely dedicated to climate research.
