Policy and other societal actors are invited to identify topics or evidence needs relating to biodiversity and ecosystem services and of EU policy relevance, requiring in-depth analysis and a consolidated view from science and other knowledge holders. We particularly encourage the building of consortia representing policy, research, NGOs or individual applications from policy or other societal actors.

Interested parties – including consortia – should apply by 30th June 2018 by following the rules and procedures detailed below. This will be followed by a 6 week period to allow other stakeholders to join and start discussions around the requests that have been put to EKLIPSE. The selected requests will be announced week starting 17th September 2018 and will be publicized on the EKLIPSE website. The process of answering these requests will start thereafter. For details, see the EKLIPSE Open Calls page.
