This call supports innovative and interdisciplinary research that can be directly integrated into nature restoration practices, promoting well-connected and resilient ecosystems and habitats. It places emphasis on long-term sustainability, future-proofing restoration efforts, and ensuring cross-scale relevance — from local and regional to cross-border and global levels — including the evaluation of restoration outcomes.
The scope of the call is broad, encompassing the restoration of biodiversity in all types of ecosystems and habitats (terrestrial, marine, coastal, and freshwater) and in all world regions. It supports high-quality research and innovation projects adopting holistic, systemic, and integrated approaches that combine ecological, social, economic, and policy dimensions.
Projects may focus on a wide array of aspects such as development of indicators, restoration scaling methods, socio-ecological interactions, or alignment of environmental policies and regulations. Ultimately, they are expected to demonstrate academic excellence while having a strong societal and policy impact, bridging the gap between science, policy, and practice to achieve effective, sustainable, and inclusive biodiversity restoration.
