BiodivERsA is very happy to announce the release of the brochure presenting its 8th Call on Biodiversity and its influence on animal, human and plant health, the third animated video presenting the results of the INVAXEN research project and the contribution of Xavier Le Roux (BiodivERsA chair & coordinator) to the latest CORDIS Research*eu magazine on Biodiversity.



  *   Biodiversity and health, learn more about our 10 funded research projects!

BiodivERsA is pleased to announce the publication of the brochure presenting the outputs of the BiodivERsA 2018-2019 Call on “Biodiversity and its influence on animal, human and plant health”. 15 funding organisations from 11 countries participated in this call, and 10 projects demonstrating both scientific excellence and societal / policy relevance were selected for a total amount of funding of over 11.8 million euro.

This call appeared to be very timely in the context of the Covid-19 pandemics, as the selected projects will deepen our understanding of the relationships that exist between biodiversity and health, including the factors that drive pathogen emergence. This will help us to move health strategies from reaction to more anticipation!

  *   New animated movie on the invasive potential of the African clawed frog

The INVAXEN project - funded under the BiodivERsA 2012-13 joint call for research proposals on invasive species and biological invasions – won the BiodivERsA Prize for Excellence and Impact<http://www.biodiversa.org/1550> and was thus awarded the opportunity to present its work in an animated video. This prize acknowledges the excellent, pioneering research performed in INVAXEN.

The INVAXEN project investigated the biology and invasion patterns of the invasive African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) and worked closely with local stakeholders to improve conservation actions on the field.
