Biodiversa+ recognises the many challenges faced by researchers to ensure academic excellence and societal impact at the same time of their research. In this context, Biodiversa+ seeks to reinforce the capacity of research and innovation actors to engage with policy, practice and stakeholders in view of ensuring the uptake and lasting impacts of their findings.
To do so, Biodiversa+ is organising dedicated capacity building activities for its funded projects on a variety of topics:
