This document presents the overall strategy of the network, and the core and transversal themes that will guide BiodivERsA activities in the next 5 years.<br style="line-height: 13px;">
<br style="line-height: 13px;">
In addition, the partners agreed on an implementation plan for the period 2017-2019, which details their common research priorities that will be addressed in particular through the <b>future BiodivERsA joint calls</b> (yearly calls over 2017-2020). They have
also decided to <b>implement a new programme for supporting syntheses and meta-analyses, i.e. research based on the re-use of existing data</b>, based on a collaboration with key European synthesis and meta-analysis centres. They have also reassert their will
to promote stakeholder engagement through the whole research process and to reinforce links between research and innovation.</p>
<p><b>BiodivERsA will remain open to cooperation and collaboration with other initiatives</b> to better tackle trans-sectoral issues and promote the international dimension of research, and when relevant will engage with different European and international
initiatives such as Joint Programming initiatives, the Belmont Forum, Future Earth and the IPBES.</p>
<p>In this newsletter, in addition to information on the BiodivERsA SRIA, implementation plan and future activities, you will also learn more about the <b>engagement of BiodivERsA with <a href="https://www.think-nature.eu" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(138, 186, 41); text-decoration: none !important;">ThinkNature</a></b>,
the multi-stakeholder dialogue platform on Nature-based Solutions. We also initiate a new section of our newsletter to highlight the impacts of BiodivERsA-funded projects. This time, you will discover the <b>societal outputs of the <a href="http://www.biodiversa.org/518" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(138, 186, 41); text-decoration: none !important;">BUFFER

Finally, this newsletter highlights the profile of <b>two BiodivERsA partners who recently joined the network</b>, i.e. the <a href="http://www.biodiversa.org/1193" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(138, 186, 41); text-decoration: none !important;">Academy
