Cofunded by the European Union

The 2023-2024 Biodiversa+ Call is still open. It invites research teams from Europe and beyond to submit research proposals on Nature-Based Solutions. 

The call “Nature-Based Solutions for biodiversity, human well-being and transformative change – BiodivNBS” aims to support transnational, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral research projects (3-years duration) addressing one or more of the three non-exclusive research themes below: 

  • Synergies and trade-offs of Nature-based solutions in the context of human well-being 

  • Nature-based solutions mitigating anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss 

  • The contribution of Nature-based solutions for just transformative change 

  • Interested in creating a research consortium and submitting a research proposal? 

A two-step process will apply to this call, with a mandatory submission of pre-proposals at the first step (deadline: 10 November 2023 at 15:00 CET) and submission of full proposals at the second step (deadline: 9 April 2024 at 15:00 CEST).

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for twelve years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play, especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as it is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
