BiodivRestore

In the context of their joint BiodivRestore Cofund Action, Biodiversa and Water JPI launched in October 2020 a joint call to support research on “Conservation and restoration of degraded ecosystems and their biodiversity, including a focus on aquatic systems”.

The call was co-funded by the European Commission and covered three non-exclusive themes:

Studying the biological and biophysical processes at stake for conservation/restoration, and their interactions Assessing trade-offs and synergies between targets, benefits and policies for conservation and restoration *Knowledge for improving the effectiveness and upscaling of conservation and restoration actions

This joint call included a focus on freshwater aquatic systems but all environments were eligible.

A total funding amount of over 21.3 Million Euro (including funding from the European Commission).

The 22 shortlisted projects are academically excellent projects, mobilising a wide range of disciplines, engaging many relevant stakeholders, and addressing various pressing scientific and societal issues.
