On 3rd June in Brussels, a high-level workshop—hosted by the European Commission’s REA, ERCEA, and DG RTD, with support from BioAgora—will bring together EU-funded research and innovation projects focused on Transformative Change for Biodiversity.
It will convene European Commission services, IPBES experts involved in the 2024 Transformative Change Assessment, and key initiatives like Biodiversa+ and NetworkNaturePlus.
The workshop aims to:
- Map and assess the progress and findings of current R&I projects;
- Identify synergies and opportunities for collaboration;
- Pinpoint remaining knowledge gaps in the transformative change landscape;
- Provide input to policy and funding priorities; and
- Explore possibilities for clustering and co-developing joint activities to amplify impact.
Alex Franklin, Coventry University, co-coordinator of PLANET4B and DAISY will represent the two projects and introduce the results and upcoming plans.
