ÁREA/TEMA ESPECÍFICO

Biodiversidad

This call will aim at supporting research on biodiversity to gain a better understanding of the tipping points and trade-offs and underlying mechanisms affecting Nature-based Solutions, and their successful implementation with respect to the benefits for nature, human well-being and societal transformation.

To do so, it will cover the following three non-exclusive research themes:

-Synergies and trade-offs of Nature-based solutions in the context of human well-being
-Nature-based solutions mitigating anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss
-The contribution of Nature-based solutions for just transformative change

A two-step application procedure will be used with a closing date for pre-proposals’ submission early November 2023. A first evaluation of pre-proposals will be organised and the deadline to submit full proposals will be early April 2024.
 
Proposals (in English only) will have to be submitted electronically. Instructions regarding submission, eligibility and evaluation criteria and other relevant information will be published with the official call announcement early September 2023.

The propousal will cover the following three non-exclusive research themes:

-Synergies and trade-offs of Nature-based solutions in the context of human well-being
-Nature-based solutions mitigating anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss
-The contribution of Nature-based solutions for just transformative change

The call will cover transnational, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral research on Nature-based Solutions in all parts of the world. All realms (i.e. terrestrial, marine, coastal, and freshwater) will be eligible. 

To be eligible, research consortia will have to include teams from a minimum of 3 countries financially participating in the Call, including at least 2 from EU Member States or EU Associated Countries.  Therefore, Colombia could participate under the same conditions that it participates in the Horizon Europe calls (integrating a consortium that meets the minimum composition and in the role of partner). However, the funder is clear in saying that “…the international added value of the projects must be clearly shown”.
