To roll out its activities and to build on existing efforts and initiatives, Biodiversa+ aims to engage in key collaborations throughout its duration. Biodiversa+ Key Collaborators are stakeholders engaged in a key and strategic collaboration with Biodiversa+ at the level of one or several activities.

Key collaborators are actively involved in Biodiversa+ strategic objectives by contributing to Biodiversa+ activities at different stages and by moving forward Biodiversa+ key objectives. Their engagement is active and regular with key influence on the Biodiversa+ activities. Biodiversa+ also contributes strategically to the key collaborators’ activities on a win-win basis.

The status of key collaborator is subject to the approval of Biodiversa+ General Assembly and should respond to the following criteria:

  • Key collaborators should clearly contribute to Biodiversa+’s strategic objectives and have a strategic contribution to Biodiversa+ activities;
  • The engagement with key collaborators should be recurrent, have a real impact on the set up and implementation of given tasks, and of medium to high intensity in overall contribution (involve/collaborate);
  • The key collaboration should be based on a win-win principle, where both Biodiversa+ and the stakeholder find their way around.

Alternet brings together international natural and social science researchers to integrate our understanding of biodiversity, ecosystems, and the services they provide.

Past collaborations

The EuropaBON project aimed to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring and assess the feasibility of establishing a center to coordinate monitoring activities across Europe. The project concluded in June 2024, following a final stakeholder conference in Brussels.

For nearly two years, EuropaBON was a key collaborator for advancing transnational biodiversity monitoring. With a longer timeframe and a wide-reaching partner network, Biodiversa+ is continuing this work by developing transnational monitoring schemes that incorporate both national and subnational perspectives.

Biodiversa+ is tackling challenges identified by EuropaBON and testing solutions through real-world case studies across a range of countries and contexts. This approach helps build ownership among environmental policy actors and supports the potential uptake of solutions like the European Biodiversity Observation Coordination Centre (EBOCC).
