This is the third edition of the Bellona Climate Action Conference, taking place on 1 October 2026 at the Royal Belgian institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. This year’s conference explores a defining question for Europe: How can climate ambition become a strategic advantage in a decade of geopolitical turbulence and uncertainty? Under the theme – Climate ambition […]
This major international congress will bring together an international and interdisciplinary community of researchers, including established scientists, early-career researchers, and doctoral students, working on the transitions of forest social-ecological systems in the context of global change. With around 1,000 participants, the congress will feature plenary sessions, thematic symposia and poster presentations, providing a unique platform […]
The Resilience World Nexus (RWN) Summit convenes C-suite executives and senior leaders who recognise that resilience drives performance, protects value, and secures long-term growth. This is where global decision-makers meet to shape strategies that anticipate disruption, manage risk, and turn uncertainty into advantage. If resilience isn’t already embedded in your business strategy — it needs to be. […]
The AQUASERV Conference will bring together researchers and industry professionals to explore how access to research infrastructures can advance marine and freshwater research, support European policies and strengthen the blue economy. Agenda and registration here

What is TNA?
Transnational Access (TNA) is a funding program that lets researchers from one country use specialized research facilities, equipment, or resources located in another country – usually for free or at reduced cost.
How it works: Think of it like a library card system, but for expensive scientific equipment. A researcher in Spain might need to use a specialized telescope in Chile, or a particle accelerator in Switzerland, or a rare biological collection in Germany. TNA programs cover the costs so researchers can access these facilities they couldn’t otherwise afford.
Key points:
Who pays: Usually funded by the EU or other international research organizations
What’s covered: Travel, accommodation, and access to the facility/equipment
The goal: Share expensive infrastructure across borders so science advances faster and more equitably
Who benefits: Researchers who don’t have access to specialized equipment in their home country
Example: A marine biologist in Poland wants to study deep-sea creatures but doesn’t have access to a research vessel. Through TNA, they could apply to use a marine research station in Norway, with costs covered by the program.
It’s essentially about democratizing access to world-class research infrastructure and promoting international scientific collaboration. Several of our projects offer TNA funding, explore them in the links below.
