Integrating Remote Sensing and in-situ observations of Biodiversity, towards a fully interoperable observation and data framework

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €10 million for about 2 grants of €5 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 20 April 2027. Deadline: 22 September 2027.

What the call wants to achieve

• advancing robust, policy-relevant ecosystem assessment, nature protection and restoration planning activities, and biodiversity trend prediction based on fit for purpose data, thus supporting EU biodiversity and climate objectives
• strengthened capacity of researchers, practitioners and decision-makers to improve biodiversity monitoring practices and address knowledge gaps via the integration of data and observations across sensors and platforms, ranging from omics-based data (genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic), various in-situ to (…)
• enhanced usability of in-situ datasets as training and validation resources for statistical, machine learning and advanced AI-based approaches, in support of applications such as habitat classification, ecosystem mapping and biodiversity trend prediction.
