Biodiversa+ — BiodivFuture 2026–2027: Transnational research funding for biodiversity and novel ecosystems, supports international research and innovation projects addressing biodiversity loss and ecosystem change. The current BiodivFuture call focuses on novel ecosystems, their socio-ecological consequences and future trajectories, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and relevant societal stakeholders. For rural territories, projects may explore biodiversity in changing agricultural landscapes, land-use transitions, ecosystem resilience, nature-positive development and the equitable sharing of biodiversity benefits.

Who can apply? Research consortia involving teams from at least three participating countries, including at least two EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries. National funding and eligibility rules apply to each partner. Application deadline: Mandatory pre-proposals by 10 November 2026, 12:00 CET. Only invited consortia can submit full proposals, due 16 April 2027, 12:00 CEST. Expected project start: December 2027–April 2028. Official call: https://www.biodiversa.eu/2026/06/09/2026-2027-joint-call/

Note: This is a research-focused funding opportunity. Rural organisations may be valuable stakeholders or project partners where eligible, but participation and funding depend on the call’s scientific and national eligibility requirements.
