Abstract

The CIRCE project started on 1 April 2007 and ended on 30 June 2011, coordinated by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisca e Vulcanologia, Italy. The work of the CIRCE project was split into 13 research lines plus one for coordination and communication. Research lines were subdivided into several work packages activities. The main objectives of CIRCE were to predict and to quantify the physical impacts of climate change in the Mediterranean, and to assess the most influential consequences for the population of the region. The knowledge yielded by the different specialized investigations were linked in an integrated interdisciplinary approach designed to study the total effect of climate change. CIRCE integrated cutting-edge scientific research with the needs of end-users and communities. Thus, CIRCE was able to quantify the impact of global warming on Mediterranean climate variables, while also taking into account the regional, social, economic and policy aspects of the process. That allowed to overcome the imbalance faced by a number of research projects on climate impacts between physical and natural science and social sciences so as to build a new vision of the interactions between climate factors and socioeconomic evolutions.
