Biodiversa+, the European Biodiversity Partnership under Horizon Europe, is thrilled to
unveil its upcoming initiative: the BiodivNBS research call. This transnational joint research
call focuses on Nature-based solutions for enhancing biodiversity, human well-being, and
driving transformative change. We are excited to contribute to the advancement of
understanding, implementation, and impact of Nature-based Solutions across various
ecosystems and sectors.
Objectives:
This call aims to facilitate comprehensive research on the delicate interplay
between biodiversity, human well-being, and transformative change through Nature-based
solutions. It will delve into the underlying mechanisms, tipping points, trade-offs, and
successful implementation strategies. The call addresses three key research themes:
- Synergies and trade-offs of Nature-based solutions in the context of human well-being
- Nature-based solutions mitigating anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss
- The contribution of Nature-based solutions for just transformative change
The call will cover transnational, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral
research on Nature-based Solutions in all parts of the world. All realms (i.e. terrestrial,
marine, coastal, and freshwater) will be eligible.
Key Dates:
- Call Launch: The BiodivNBS call is scheduled to be officially launched on September 11, 2023.
- Pre-proposals Submission Deadline: The initial phase of the application process will close in early November 2023.
- Full Proposals Deadline: After evaluating pre-proposals, the deadline for submitting full proposals is set for early April 2024.
