    The European Biodiversity Partnership Biodiversa+, co-funded by the European Commission, aims to produce actionable knowledge to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in line with its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. As part of its Flagship Programme “Supporting protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems across land and sea”, Biodiversa+ has launched the BiodivConnect joint call for research proposals on the “Restoration of ecosystem functioning, integrity and connectivity.”

    This call supports innovative and interdisciplinary research that can be directly integrated into nature restoration practices, promoting well-connected and resilient ecosystems and habitats. It places emphasis on long-term sustainability, future-proofing restoration efforts, and ensuring cross-scale relevance — from local and regional to cross-border and global levels — including the evaluation of restoration outcomes.

    The scope of the call is broad, encompassing the restoration of biodiversity in all types of ecosystems and habitats (terrestrial, marine, coastal, and freshwater) and in all world regions. It supports high-quality research and innovation projects adopting holistic, systemic, and integrated approaches that combine ecological, social, economic, and policy dimensions.

    Projects may focus on a wide array of aspects such as development of indicators, restoration scaling methods, socio-ecological interactions, or alignment of environmental policies and regulations. Ultimately, they are expected to demonstrate academic excellence while having a strong societal and policy impact, bridging the gap between science, policy, and practice to achieve effective, sustainable, and inclusive biodiversity restoration.
