This funding call under Horizon Europe aims to provide additional support for the European Biodiversity Partnership (Biodiversa+). It builds upon prior projects funded under HORIZON-CL6-2021-BIODIV-02-01 and HORIZON-CL6-2023-BIODIV-01-18. The partnership will focus on biodiversity and ecosystem research, data monitoring, and policy advisory activities aligned with the EU Nature Restoration Law. The funding facilitates collaborative efforts among academia, research institutions, and other stakeholders to ensure continuity and expansion of biodiversity-related projects across Europe.

The action targets flagship programmes for the years 2025-2027, focusing on joint calls for transnational proposals, collaborative research activities, and fostering synergies with European initiatives like the European Open Science Cloud and Copernicus. Projects are expected to leverage emerging space technologies and enhance data availability for biodiversity monitoring and restoration efforts.

Beneficiaries are encouraged to build on the previous partnerships' strategic research agendas while broadening the scope of collaboration and integrating additional partners where necessary. Financial support to third parties (FSTP) is a key component, with grants of up to 7.000.000 € available per third-party beneficiary.
