A total of 33 Czech applicants within 29 research projects participated in the Biodiversity Partnership Call 2024 (titled “BiodivTransform”), a Joint Call focused on biodiversity research and protection of ecosystems.
The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA ČR) will support three successful Czech teams that will contribute to the following projects:
- InvaSyn (Invasion Syndromes: transforming the understanding and management of biological invasions)
- JustBioSolar (Green Energy Transitions in Europe: Impacts on Biodiversity, Landscapes and Justice)
- REDESIGN (Restoration and Depopulation Synergies for Nature)
The Call aimed to support projects in the following areas of research:
- Help understand trade-offs and cross-linkages between the worldwide crises of biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution;
- Identify, analyse, and comprehend transformation processes that may safeguard biodiversity by mitigating threats and halting—or even reversing—its decline, as well as the benefits it may provide to people.
