2011-2012 Joint call
BiodivERsA call for proposals on "Biodiversity dynamics: developing scenarios, identifying tipping points and improving resilience"
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
