Connecting Nature (2017-2022) is a €11.5m Horizon 2020 project led by the School of Natural Sciences. It is seeking to innovate with nature-based solutions and consists of 31 partners in 11 countries as well as hubs in China, Korea, Brazil and the Caucuses. For more information contact the PI Prof. Marcus Collier Info: www.connectingnature.eu

Sharecity
SHARECITY (2015-2020) will establish the significance and potential of food-sharing economies to transform cities onto more sustainable pathways. It uses a collaborative and trans-disciplinary approach to assess the practice and sustainability potential of city-based food-sharing economies. For more information contact the PI Prof. Anna Davies.

Geofin
GEOFIN (2016-2021) examines the way in which Western banks conquered Eastern Europe following the collapse of communism. East-Central Europe is being used as a laboratory to understand how finance penetrates post-communist economies that were previously built on opposite principles. For more information contact the PI Prof. Martin Sokol.

Poshbee
The PoshBee Project (2018-2023) will assess the exposure of bees to agrochemicals, pathogens and nutritional stress, and determine the impacts of these stressors on wild and managed bees across the EU. For more information contact Prof. Jane Stout. Info: www.poshbee.eu

The Climate Change and Land Use in Ireland Project (2018-2020)
The Climate Change and Land Use in Ireland Project (2018-2020) investigates the interactions between climate change and land use in Ireland and also engages with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the Special Report on Climate Change and Land. For more information contact Dr Eamon Haughey.
Project Supported by:
The PALEOCARBON project
The PALEOCARBON project (2019-2022) aims to constrain processes & intensity of silicate weathering and its carbon drawdown potential during the Paleogene greenhouse climate and to constrain the role of plants in mediating weathering processes. For more information contact Dr Weimu Xu.

GEOFORMATIONS
Geoformations is the study of international development cooperation governance assemblages in times of interacting overlapping crisis and change. We explore how, why, and in what ways organisations engaged in development practice, including climate action and humanitarian response, cooperate and collaborate to deliver development outcomes. What governances systems, structures and processes emerge and how these function, flow, and dissolve. For more information please contact PI Dr Susan Murphy.
