Allianz Climate Risk Research Award
The Allianz Climate Risk Research Award supports scientific research that improves our understanding of climate change-related risks. The Award focuses on the topic “Climate risk: real-time information and new technologies.”
The Award is intended to support researchers whose research focuses on:
- Reducing the risk of extreme weather events that are intensified by climate change
- Fostering resilience by applying technological solutions
PhD students who are in the final stage of their research and postdoctoral researchers who have recently finished their research, are invited to apply. We welcome individual applications from the fields of natural sciences as well as economic and social sciences.
Four finalists receive a monetary award and are invited to an Award ceremony at Allianz Headquarters in Munich to present their findings and take part in an interactive discussion with renown experts from both industry and academia.
In addition, Allianz publishes the ten best essays submitted as part of the application in a compendium.
The call for applications for the next edition of the Allianz Climate Risk Research Award is planned for July 2019.
