Restoration of ecosystem functioning, integrity and connectivity

This call is focused on fostering innovative research to be integrated into nature restoration practices for interconnected and well-functioning ecosystems and habitats, with special consideration for long-term sustainability and future-proofing of restoration efforts, at scales from local to regional to cross-border and global, including their evaluation.

To adequately address the key challenges of nature restoration, it is essential to support knowledge exchange and capacity building across disciplines and societal sectors, and acknowledge, appreciate and integrate multiple forms of knowledge. This call is arranged into three main topics that partly overlap. Project proposals can address one or more of these main topics.

  • Topic 1: Setting restoration targets and measuring success
  • Topic 2: Transferability and scaling of nature restoration efforts
  • Topic 3: Resilience and sustainability of restoration efforts

Research proposals shall demonstrate significant transnational added value and are expected to be interdisciplinary, involving multiple academic disciplines. Proposals are also strongly encouraged to be transdisciplinary to include non-academic stakeholders working together with researchers to co-produce new knowledge relevant for society.

To be eligible, research consortia will have to include:

  • Teams from a minimum of three countries financially participating in the Call,
  • With at least two of these from EU Member States or EU Associated Countries.

The call is planned to officially launch on 9 September 2025.

A two-step application procedure will be used, with the pre-proposal submission deadline in early November 2025. After a first evaluation of pre-proposals, the deadline for submitting full proposals will be in early April 2026.
