About the call
Biodiversa+ is pleased to announce that its 6th annual EC co-funded research call - BiodivFuture - will be open on the 9 of September.
A two-step application procedure will apply, with a mandatory submission of pre-proposals at the first step and submission of full proposals at the second step, via the Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS).
TRANSNATIONAL RESEARCH CONSORTIA AND ELIGIBILIT
To be eligible, transnational research consortia must be composed of eligible research partners from minimum 3 different countries financially participating in the call and requesting support from minimum 3 different Funding Organisations; including at least two different EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries.
Proposals must be exclusively written in English.
Each research partner involved in a proposal must comply with the eligibility criteria and rules of its national / regional funding organisations.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Research proposals will be evaluated by independent experts against the following criteria:
1. At step 1 (pre-proposal stage): (1) Fit to the scope of the call, (2) novelty of the research and (3) impact;
2. At step 2 (full proposal stage): (1) [Scientific] excellence, (2) quality and efficiency of the implementation [of the project plan], and (3) impact (including expected policy and societal impact, and approach to stakeholder engagement).
Research proposals shall demonstrate significant transnational added value of the project. In addition, they are expected to be interdisciplinary, involving as needed multiple academic disciplines (natural sciences, technical sciences, social sciences, humanities and art). Proposals are also strongly encouraged to be transdisciplinary to include non-academic stakeholders working together with researchers to co-produce knowledge of high relevance for society and end-user oriented.
Applicants must carefully read the detailed assessment criteria (Call Document 6) .
