Good news on the future of BiodivERsA


The BiodivERsA network is pleased to announce that the BiodivERsA3  
project has been selected by the European Commission.

The European Commission has accepted to fund the network for another 5  
years period in the form of an ERA-Net COFUND tool under the Horizon  
2020 funding programme, which will secure BiodivERsA activities in a  
third phase (2015-2019).

Implemented under the 6th and the 7th Framework Programme for  
Research, BiodivERsA has supported research on biodiversity and  
ecosystem services and its coordination at the European scale since  
2005. This project has launched 5 joint calls for research since 2010  
for a total amount of more than 100 million euro (incl. 50 million  
euro of funding directly raised by BiodivERsA partners).

The third phase of BiodivERsA, which will begin in early 2015, will  
allow an expansion of the network. BiodivERsA3 will include 32  
partners from 18 different countries. The network will thus count 11  
new partners, including 7 from European overseas regions (from the  
former NetBiome ERA-Net).
BiodivERsA3 will continue and deepen the activities that have been led  
by the network since its creation, in particular in terms of mapping  
of the European research landscape and funding of pan-European  
research projects. A major joint call for pan-European research  
projects should also be launched in 2015. National program alignment  
and young scientists schemes will be implemented. The science-society  
and science-policy interfaces as well as the dissemination of  
scientific knowledge to relevant stakeholders, including policy makers  
will also be at the heart of the BiodivERsA3 project.



Please note that the BiodivERsA2 final conference and kick-off of the  
2012-2013 funded projects will be held on the 2nd and 3rd of October.  
We warmly invite you to register if you want to participate.
