Overview
The ZKO programme focuses on strengthening the understanding and knowledge of coastal development, the role of cycles and particle flows in relation to water quality, capacity for a sustainable yield of the ecosystem, change in the biodiversity, the role of the sea and ocean in climate change and the effects of climate change on the marine system. This understanding must provide the basis for possible predictions. The ZKO wants to facilitate the cooperation between different research institutes in this area.
As part of the ZKO (National Programme Sea and Coastal Research) two programmes have been developed:
- a pilot concerning Changing carrying capacity in the Dutch coastal waters;
- a subprogramme concerning oceans and climate;
- a subprogramme concerning the North Sea;
- ship time.
Application
The main applicant has a tenured position, or at least the guarantee that during the project he or she is employed at Dutch universities and/or research institutes. Eligible institutions are NWO and KNAW institutes, Wageningen IMARES and Deltares.
