Biodiversa+ is part of the European Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. Building bridges between science, policy and practice, Biodiversa+ gathers 83 research programmers, funders, and environmental policy actors from 41 European and associated countries to work on 5 main objectives:
1. Plan and support research and innovation on biodiversity through a shared strategy, annual joint calls for research projects and capacity building activities
2. Set up a network of harmonised schemes to improve monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem services across Europe
3. Contribute to high-end knowledge for deploying Nature-based Solutions and valuation of biodiversity in the private sector
4. Ensure efficient science-based support for policy-making and implementation in Europe
5. Strengthen the relevance and impact of pan-European research on biodiversity in a global context.
Biodiversa+ builds on the work of BiodivERsA, supported by several Framework Programmes of the European Commission since 2005!
