Biodiversa 2024-2025 Joint Call: Biodiversity and Transformative Change
The BiodivTransform Call aims to support interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and/or cross-sectoral research and innovation projects that will:
Help understand trade-offs and cross-linkages between the worldwide crises of biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution;
- Identify, analyse, and comprehend transformation processes that may safeguard biodiversity by mitigating its threats and halt – even reverse – its decline, as well as the benefits it may provide to people.
This call adopts a bottom-up approach and intentionally does not define research themes.
Projects will be expected to demonstrate academic excellence with potential for societal and policy impact regarding biodiversity, aiming to connect science, society, policy, and practices for transformative change.
This call is not restricted in terms of specific environments nor geographic areas, encompassing 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.
Applicants must carefully read the announcement of opportunity (Call Document 1) that further details the scope of the call.
Pre-Proposal submission deadline: 08 November 2024
