CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:This call is launched by the European Biodiversity Partnership
 \, Biodiversa+\, co-funded by the European Commission. The Biodiversa+ Par
 tnership is one of the actions included in the EU Biodiversity Strategy fo
 r 2030 to 'make the bridge between science\, policy and practice\, and mak
 e nature-based solutions a reality on the ground'. The Partnership’s act
 ivities will include co-funded joint calls for research and innovation pro
 jects\, biodiversity monitoring\, and science-based policy advising activi
 ties.\n\n33 countries\, including Switzerland\,  are contributing to the 
 funding of the present Biodiversa+ joint call for research projects\, to b
 e co-funded by the European Commission as part of the Biodiversa+ European
  partnership (see the updated list of countries and participating Funding 
 Organisations on\nBiodiversa+).\n\nThe 2022 - 2023 joint call focuses on 
 “Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change 
 for science and society”. This call aims to support transnational resear
 ch projects (3-years duration) addressing one or more of the three (non-ex
 clusive) themes below:\n\n	THEME 1 – Innovation and harrmonization of m
 ethods and tools for collection and management of biodiversity monitoring 
 data\n	THEME 2 – Multiple benefits and costs of biodiversity and ecosys
 tem protection: synergies and trade-offs Addressing knowledge gaps on biod
 iversity status\, dynamics\, and trends to reverse biodiversity loss\n	THE
 ME 3 – Making use of available biodiversity monitoring data.\n\n\nProje
 cts combining aspects from several themes are encouraged. The projects fun
 ded by this call should allow us to better characterize\, understand and r
 eport on the state and trends of biodiversity. The call covers all environ
 ments\, i.e. terrestrial\, freshwater and marine in Europe and beyond.\n\n
