Introduction to Biodiversa+ calls 2023 & 2024. Integration of SSH and societal/policy impact

The National Science Centre, Poland and the Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Brussels are pleased to invite you to an information session aiming to introduce new calls to be launched by the Biodiversa+ European Partnership under Horizon Europe framework programme in September 2023 and 2024, as well as to highlight some important aspects to be considered by potential applicants.

The meeting will be specifically dedicated to the life sciences (LS), and the social sciences and humanities (SSH) research communities in Poland, and will take place soon after Biodiversa+ 2023 call pre-announcement.

With this event we plan to provide concise information for potential applicants to the Biodiversa+ calls 2023 and 2024, with a special focus on SSH researchers being invited to join consortia and to bring important input in research on biodiversity and ecosystem services. The event will also address societal and/or policy impact of the proposals as this comprises one of the criteria taken into account in the evaluation process. In addition, good practices in drafting proposal, collaboration within consortium, involvement of stakeholders as well as integration of SSH aspects in the project will be discussed, based on the activities of Polish beneficiaries of BiodivERsA.

Furthermore, based on registration data from participants, a networking dataset will also be created of researchers representing life sciences and SSH, who are interested in future cooperation within the next Biodiversa+ calls for proposals.

The event will be held n English and is opened to everyone interested in securing funds for research and innovation actions in the field of biodiversity. Only registered participants will be provided with necessary connection details prior to the event. The registration deadline is June 14.
