Biodiversity issues lie at the intersection of multiple political and socio-economic interests. To address these complexities and promote a cross-sectoral approach to the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity, Biodiversa+ collaborates closely with a wide range of stakeholders from policy, practice, and business. This engagement is embedded in every step of our processes and across all core activities.
We also actively foster science-society and science-policy interfaces throughout the entire research cycle—from programme design to the dissemination of results. While academic excellence remains a key evaluation criterion, funded projects are also expected to demonstrate innovative approaches for engaging stakeholders and increasing the societal relevance and impact of their research.
