Biodiversa+ – European Biodiversity Partnership

Developed jointly by BiodivERsA and the European Commission (DG Environment and DG Research & Innovation), Biodiversa+ is part of the European Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 to build the bridge between science, policy, and practice.

This co-funded partnership brings together 83organizations from 41 countries, including ministries responsible for research and innovation policy or environmental policy, research funding agencies, foundations, and environmental protection agencies, and is based on five main objectives:

plan and support research and innovation in biodiversity through a shared strategy and joint Calls for research projects and capacity-building activities;
establish a network of harmonized schemes to improve the monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem services across Europe;
contribute to cutting-edge knowledge for the implementation of nature-based solutions and the enhancement of biodiversity in the private sector;
ensure efficient scientific support for policy formulation and implementation in Europe;
enhance the relevance and impact of pan-European research on biodiversity in a global context.

FCT and FRCT – Regional Fund for Science and Technology are the Portuguese organizations that are part of Biodiversa+.
