Objective
As society moves into an era where environmental change has an ever-growing place in the political agenda, the demand for
a new generation of scientists working at the interface between the natural and social sciences is growing. SALTGIANT
contributes to satisfy this demand within a rare cross-disciplinary network of natural and social scientists dedicated to
understanding the formation of the Mediterranean Salt Giant, one of the largest salt deposits on Earth, and its implications
for sub-seafloor microbial life, risk assessment in the oil industry, geo-economics of the Mediterranean region and the history
of oceanography. SALTGIANT will bring together 22 academic organizations (11 beneficiaries, 11 partners), 2 private sector
Oil&Gas companies and 1 specialist in transferable skills training from 8 European countries to stimulate interdisciplinary
and intersectorial knowledge exchange between geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, microbiologist, geographers and
historians in a network with PhD students at its core. SALTGIANT combines (i) geological and geochemical field work, (ii)
laboratory measurements and experiments, (iii) numerical modeling at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales and (iv)
empirical social sciences data collection and analysis, guaranteeing exposure of the research fellows to state-of-the-art
scientific knowledge and hands-on practical training in a field rich in applications of both intellectual and societal relevance.
Through its innovative blend of training and research activities, SALTGIANT will boost the employability of its research
fellows in academia and in the private sector, particularly the energy sector, including Oil & Gas and geothermal, resource
management, geological storage and numerical modeling, as well as in governmental agencies (Ministries of the
Environment, Sustainable Development and Energy), international organizations (European Environment Agency, EEA;
United Nations Environmental Program, UNEP) and NGOs.
