The Montesinho Natural Park, being the last of its kind in northeastern Portugal, provides privileged areas for monitoring and studying climate change in depth, as well as developing mitigation measures and actions in good time. With the promotion of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary R&D activities to be carried out in the Montesinho Natural Park as a benchmark, this Call aims to project it into the future, developing new knowledge in various thematic areas, from a multidisciplinary scientific and cultural perspective.
