Description
Biodiversa+ has opened its new transnational joint research call on Biodiversity and Transformative Change, or ‘BiodivTransform’.
Biodiversa+ will host an information webinar for potential applicants on 24 September 2024 from 13:00 to 15:00 CEST.
Objectives:
The call, alongside actions embedded in the Flagship Programme ‘Supporting societal transformation for the sustainable use and management of biodiversity’, aims to achieve one of Biodiversa+’s strategic objectives, to produce actionable knowledge for transformative change to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
BiodivTransform will aim for interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and/or cross-sectoral research and innovation projects to identify, analyse, and comprehend transformation processes that may halt and reverse biodiversity decline. Projects are expected to generate knowledge to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as the benefits these may provide to people, through transformative change to mitigate and reverse biodiversity threats.
The call does not place restrictions on specific environments nor geographic areas; instead, it encompasses all realms (terrestrial, marine, coastal and freshwater) and ecosystems experiencing various levels and sources of disturbances, including transition zones and interfaces (coastal, wetlands, urban–rural, forest–agriculture, etc.) and in integrated land/seascapes.
Eligible applicants:
To be eligible, research consortia will have to include teams from a minimum of 3 countries financially participating in the Call, including at least 2 from EU Member States or EU Associated Countries. The research consortia must seek support from at least 3 different Funding Organisations.
Budget:
As of June 2024, a global budget of over 40 million euros has been provisionally reserved by 34 countries together with the European Commission.
Duration:
Pre-proposal submission deadline is on Friday 08 November 2024 (15:00 CET). Results of the evaluation of the first step will be mid-February 2025, and shortlisted applicants will be invited to submit full proposals by Friday 11 April 2025 (15:00 CEST).
Expected project start between 01 December 2025 to 01 April 2026.
