BiodivERsA3 2015 Joint Call for International Research Proposals on:
“Understanding and managing biodiversity dynamics to improve ecosystem
functioning and delivery of ecosystem services in a global change
context:
the cases of (1) soils and sediments, and (2) land- river- and sea-
scapes (habitat connectivity, green and blue infrastructures, and
naturing cities)”
We are pleased to announce the launch of the BiodivERsA 2015 pan-
European call for research proposals on: “Understanding and managing
biodiversity dynamics to improve ecosystem functioning and delivery of
ecosystem services in a global change context: the cases of (1) soils
and sediments, and (2) land- river- and sea-scapes (habitat
connectivity, green and blue infrastructures, and naturing cities)”.
The call, co-funded by the European Commission, will address the
following two themes:
Theme 1: Understanding and managing the biodiversity dynamics of soils
and sediments to improve ecosystem functioning and delivery of
ecosystem services;
Theme 2: Understanding and managing biodiversity dynamics in land-,
river- and sea-scapes (habitat connectivity, green and blue
infrastructures, and naturing cities) to improve ecosystem functioning
and delivery of ecosystem services.
The main scientific themes and priorities for this call are further
detailed in the complete announcement of opportunity.
Please note that proposals can only address one of the two themes
listed above.
Twenty five national/regional funding organisation* from 16 countries
are joining this call: Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, France, Germany,
Hungary, Lithuania, The Netherlands**, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
* Note that overseas countries and territories participate to this
call with specific funding
** Participation of the Netherlands in the call is still under
consideration
Together with the European Commission, the BiodivERsA partners have
provisionally reserved ca. €30 million for this call.
Scientific teams are invited to form international consortia
comprising at least three research groups from at least three
countries participating in the BiodivERsA call, except for proposals
including research groups from outermost regions for which it suffices
if the research groups come from two different countries and the
proposal concerns three different funding organisations.
Proposals should clearly demonstrate an added value linked to the pan-
European nature of the projects, and should fulfil criteria of
scientific excellence and relevance to policy and practice.
For more information on the eligibility and evaluation criteria,
please consult the BiodivERsA website.
A two-step process will apply, with a mandatory submission of pre-
proposals at first step. Pre-proposals and proposals (in English) must
be submitted electronically on the submission website. You will find
instructions for electronic submission on the BiodivERsA website.
Please note that the individual Partner in a project must comply with
the eligibility criteria and rules of their funding organisation.
Please consult your Funding organisation rules documents and contact
your Funding organisation Contact Points (FCP) (both lists are
available on the BiodivERsA website) to check your eligibility before
submitting a proposal. We draw your attention on the fact that
compliance to funding organisation eligibility criteria and rules is
mandatory – proposals that do not meet these criteria will be declined
without further review.
