New transnational joint research call "Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change for science and society".

The call will cover three non-exclusive research themes:

• Innovation and harmonisation of methods and tools for collection and management of biodiversity monitoring data
• Addressing knowledge gaps on biodiversity status, dynamics, and trends to reverse biodiversity loss
• Making use of available biodiversity monitoring data

All environments (i.e. terrestrial, inland freshwater including wetlands, and marine) will be eligible.

The call is planned to be officially launched on 8 September 2022. A two-step application procedure will be used with a closing date for pre-proposals early November 2022. A first evaluation of pre-proposals will be organised and the deadline to submit full proposals will be early April 2023.
