Financing the Global Energy Transition 10. Transport in sub-Saharan Africa: analysis and modelling of future pathways 11. Sustainable development strategies for contrasting emerging human infectious diseases 12. Water scarcity as a driver of food and energy insecurity in global change (climate; land use; demographic etc.) perspective 13. Decarbonisation scenario for the energy sector: how far we can push our ambitions to be coherent with current technological limitations? Deep insight from evidence based research and modelling (in collaboration with Eni Spa) 14. Challenges and opportunities for advanced biofuels for the European road transport (in collaboration with Eni Spa) FEEM, as Italian host institution, provides support to individual experienced researchers who meet the requirements of the Programme. Research proposals entail a period of 12-24 months at FEEM, with reference to the Call Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (IF) – European Fellowships. FEEM offers a truly international and multi-disciplinary workplace. Thanks to a world-wide research network you will be involved in a continuous fruitful exchange of experiences.
