ERA-Net BiodivERsA - Facce-JPI - Transnational call for proposals on « Promoting synergies and reducing trade-offs between food supply, biodiversity and ecosystem services » through the ERA-NET BiodivERsA and the FACCE JPI

The European partners in the BiodivERsA/FACCE-JPI networks have joined efforts to organize and fund a pan-European call for research projects on “promoting synergies and reducing trade-offs between food supply, biodiversity and ecosystem services”. The partners have reserved a budget between €8.5 M and €9.7 M for this call, spread out among the following participating countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey.

The call will address the following themes:

• T1: To what extent can biodiversity better support agro-ecosystems / agricultural production systems in terms of multi-functionality and outcomes in a global change context?
   
• T2: Which policies and governance systems can promote the emergence and support of agro-ecosystems / agricultural production systems benefiting from and beneficial to biodiversity and ecosystem services?

The funding allocated by the French National Research Agency (ANR) to this call is set at a maximum of €2 M. Therefore, the participation of the French scientific community is strongly expected and encouraged on this call for proposals.

The main scientific themes and proposal’s eligibility criteria are further detailed in the complete announcement of opportunity (call text) available below.
