The European Biodioversity Partnership Biodiversa+ launched a new research call on ecosystem restoration on 9 September 2025. The BiodivConnect call supports innovative research on the restoration of ecosystem functioning, integrity and connectivity. The funded research projects will produce actionable knowledge to support nature restoration and reverse biodiversity decline and ecosystem degradation.
This call will benefit the implementation of the EU Nature Restoration Law, the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. With a total budget of around € 40 million, this call will address restoration efforts for biodiversity in all types of ecosystems and habitats, in all regions of the world, and will support high-quality research projects with holistic, systemic, and integrated approaches.
