European Projects
BioAgora is a collaborative European project funded by the Horizon Europe programme. It aims to connect research results on biodiversity to the needs of decision-making in a targeted dialogue between scientists, other knowledge holders and policy actors.
Its main outcome will be the development of a fair and functional Science Service for Biodiversity, that will orchestrate processes and initiatives at the Science-Policy Interface at the European level.
The CO-OP4CBD project seeks to strengthen the science-policy interface to support effective engagement with CBD processes within Europe and enhance coordination within the EU by effectively harnessing the knowledge of EU experts.
Its objectives are to: develop an effective approach for engaging experts to support CBD negotiators; enhance mechanisms for technical/scientific cooperation and capacity-building; and help develop an effective monitoring/review process for implementing the Kunming-Montreal biodiversity package by CBD parties.
ECO-READY is a project that aims to address the complex issue of food security in Europe by providing real-time data and critical insights into the factors that affect food accessibility and the economic protection of producers. It involves the development of an observatory that provides up-to-date information on climate issues for policy, citizens, and the business community through a transparent organization — the policy Hub.
Restoring Ecosystems to Stop the Threat Of (Re-)Emerging Infectious Diseases: There is a growing body of evidence that landscape degradation is linked to zoonotic spillover risk. Large scale restoration is increasingly being touted as an effective solution for mitigating against a range of anthropogenic impacts and is also hypothesised to protect against zoonotic disease spillover. RESTOREID explores the link between nature restoration, biodiversity, and disease prevention. Using advanced methods, we study how restoring ecosystems can reduce disease risks for both animals and humans.
