The European partners in the BiodivERsA network have joined efforts to organize and fund a pan-European call for international research projects on "Biodiversity dynamics: developing scenarios, identifying tipping points and improving resilience."

The call addressed the following themes, across all ecosystems and organisms:

• a) Developing integrated biodiversity scenarios
• b) Understanding and predicting biodiversity resilience and tipping points 
• c) Decision support for biodiversity policy and management

9 projects were selected for €8.8 M funding among 8 different countries
