European Partnerships associated with Horizon Europe (HE) emerge as essential tools to address some of Europe's most pressing challenges through concerted research and innovation (R&I) initiatives involving a range of public and private partners which, together with the European Commission, are key to the implementation of Horizon Europe and contribute significantly to the achievement of EU policy priorities. By bringing together private and public partners, European Partnerships help to avoid duplication of investments and contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the EU R&I landscape.
Through European Partnership calls, the research community can obtain funding to develop activities in consortia with researchers from other countries through joint transnational calls.
The European Partnership Biodiversa+ is part of the European Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 to build the bridge between science, policy and practice. Biodiversa+ gathers 76 funding organisations and environmental policy actors from 39 European and associated countries to work on its goals.
