Recently, the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge has opened the call for grants from the Biodiversity Foundation for large transformative scientific-technical projects aimed at promoting the bioeconomy and contributing to the ecological transition within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

  • Projects will be financed that include actions that contribute to conserving ecosystems, their habitats and species; to reduce the use of raw materials or increase the efficient and sustainable use of by-products and other raw materials, as well as to reverse biodiversity loss, including the fight against climate change.
  • It has a total budget of 20 million euros, allocating a maximum of 2 M€ in grants per project, coming from the Recovery and Resilience Facility of the European Union.
  • The deadline for submitting applications ends on January 3, 2022.

Given the interest this call may generate in our sector, BIOVEGEN has prepared a brief report summarizing the main characteristics of the call.
