IGNITE Islands as natural laboratories of global warming: discovering insects’ ability to survive thermal extremes
Coordinator: RUDER BOSKOVIC INSTITUTE (HR)
Global warming will increase the frequency of extreme heat events, exemplified by this years European heatwave. These thermal extremes pose challenges to insects, who play an indispensable role in terrestrial ecosystems, and whose body temperatures rise with habitat temperatures. Given the alarming trend of global insect declines, it is essential to understand their adaptability in the face of rising temperatures. IGNITE aims to answer one of the most urgent questions in ecology todayWill insects be able to survive the upcoming heat stress?To answer this question, we will test insects resilie…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €1.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2025-07-01 to 2030-06-30.
