[FWO][Europe] Biodiversa+ New Call: Novel ecosystems: biodiversity, socio-ecological consequences and future trajectories

Er staat een nieuwe oproep open voor projectfinanciering in het kader van het Biodiversa+ partnerschap met als algemeen thema: "Novel ecosystems: biodiversity, socio-ecological consequences and future trajectories”:

THEME A – NOVEL ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: Understanding the functioning of novel ecosystems and their links to socio-cultural and socio-economic dynamics, identifying mechanisms and developing approaches that can facilitate biodiversity gains.
THEME B – PATHWAYS TO NOVEL ECOSYSTEMS: Studying robust, plausible, and concrete pathways to novel ecosystems and associated socio-ecological dynamics to prosper under temporal asynchronies and uncertainties.
THEME C – BIODIVERSITY BENEFITS AND EQUITY IN THE CONTEXT OF NOVEL ECOSYSTEM: Studying fair and equitable sharing of biodiversity benefits in the context of novel ecosystems, supported by inclusive, collaborative, and investment-oriented pathways for nature-positive socio-ecological transformation.

Deadline pre-proposal: 10 november 2026, 12:00

Deadline full proposal: 16 april 2027, 12:00

Projectfinanciering via FWO SBO- en FO-kanaal
max. 250 000 EUR per project (inclusief overhead)
Projectduur: 3 jaar

Let op!

Onderzoekers uit Vlaanderen die bij het FWO financiering aanvragen dienen naast het Biodiversa+projectvoorstel eveneens een administratieve aanvraag in te dienen, via het FWO e-loket:

FO-projecten: aanvraagtype ‘Research projects – European programme fundamental research’
SBO-projecten: aanvraagtype ‘strategic basic research projects (SBO)’

Het FWO raadt onderzoekers aan om voor indiening contact op te nemen omtrent de ontvankelijkheidscriteria. Dit om de onontvankelijkheid van de Vlaamse onderzoeker(s) individueel, en het consortium als geheel, te vermijden.

Voor inhoudelijke begeleiding kan u terecht bij Sylvia Burssens
Gelieve het projectbudget minstens 5 werkdagen voor indiening voor te leggen aan Team Vlaams-Federaal
