This call will cover the following three non-exclusive themes:
- Innovation and harmonisation of methods and tools for collection and management of biodiversity monitoring data
- Addressing knowledge gaps on biodiversity status, dynamics and trends to reverse biodiversity loss
- Making use of available biodiversity monitoring data
Projects combining aspects from several themes are encouraged. The projects funded by this call should allow to better characterise, 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).
A two-step process will apply, with a mandatory submission of pre-proposals at the first step and submission of full proposals at the second step. The closing date for pre-proposals is 9 November 2022, 15:00 CET.
To be eligible, research consortia will have to include teams from a minimum of three different countries participating in the call and requesting support from at least three different funding organisations (including at least two from EU member states or EU associated countries). The full up-to-date list of participating funding organisations joining this call as well as their reserved budgets is available on the BiodivERsA+ website.
