Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change for science and society - BiodivMon

Biodiversa+ - the European Biodiversity Partnership - is pleased to launch its 2022-2023 joint Call for transnational research proposals on “Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change for science and society”.

This call aims at supporting transnational research projects (3-years duration) addressing one or more of the 3 (non-exclusive) themes below:

Theme 1: Innovation and harmonization of methods and tools for collection and management of biodiversity monitoring data
Theme 2: Addressing knowledge gaps on biodiversity status, dynamics, and trends to reverse biodiversity loss
Theme 3: Making use of available biodiversity monitoring data

This Research & Innovation call should allow us to better characterize, understand and report on the state and trends of biodiversity. The call covers all environments, i.e. terrestrial, freshwater and marine in Europe and beyond.

Research teams are invited to form transnational research consortia with eligible research partners requesting financial support from minimum 3 funding organizations from different countries participating in the call (including minimum two from EU Member States or EU Associated Countries). 46 Funding Organisations from 33 countries are joining this call and have reserved – together with the European Commission – a total amount of over 40 million euros: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Ivory Coast, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Morocco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania (Subject to approval), Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, The Netherlands, Tunisia and Turkey.

A two-step evaluation process applies, with a mandatory submission of pre- and full proposals (in English) via an Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS).
