Pre-announcement Biodiversa+ “Nature-based Solutions for biodiversity, human well-being and transformative change – BiodvNBS”

Get ready for the upcoming Biodiversa+ Call on
“Nature-based Solutions for biodiversity, human well-being and transformative change – BiodvNBS”

Biodiversa+, the European Biodiversity Partnership under Horizon Europe, is pleased to announce that it will soon launch a new transnational joint research call on Nature-Based Solutions for biodiversity, human well-being and transformative change (referred to as BiodivNBS).

This call will aim at supporting research on biodiversity to gain a better understanding of the tipping points and trade-offs and underlying mechanisms affecting Nature-based Solutions, and their successful implementation with respect to the benefits for nature, human well-being and societal transformation.

This call will cover the following three non-exclusive 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.  

Information on eligibility, tentative budget and participating countries is available on the call page.

CALL SCHEDULE:

The call is planned to beofficially launched on 11 September 2023. A two-step application procedure will be used with a closing date for pre-proposals’ submission early November 2023. A first evaluation of pre-proposals will be organised and the deadline to submit full proposals will be early April 2024.
