The CLIMOS project (Climate Monitoring and Decision Support Framework for Sand Fly-borne Diseases Detection and Mitigation) puts under a spotlight phlebotomine sand flies – small, hairy dipterans that may seem like an unlikely candidate to attract a focused effort of a research consortium comprised of 29 partners that will pursue the project aims for next three years in many European and adjacent countries.

The CLIMOS (full title: Climate Monitoring and Decision Support Framework for Sand Fly-borne Diseases Detection and Mitigation) project is a transdisciplinary and multisectoral collaboration that aims at providing new knowledge, tools and solutions for mitigation and adaptation of human and veterinary health sectors to challenges of climate change, cantered around the model of how climate affects the spread of the sand fly-borne diseases, their vectors, and pathogens.

CLIMOS was presented during the OGC panel “The Climate for Good Health may be Changing” hosted at the European Space Agency – ESA by Nenad Gligoric, from Zentrix Lab, and Nils Hempelmann, from The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), both partners of the CLIMOS project.

CLIMOS completed the first deliverable which reflects the planned communication and dissemination activities of the project.
