Contribute to the development and international influence of a Research Center of Excellence on biodiversity in Portugal, by sharing the skills and knowledge present in Montpellier. The BIOPOLIS project, funded under phase 2 of the European H2020 Teaming program, aims to transform the CIBIO research laboratory in Porto into a Research, Development and Innovation Center of Excellence in the fields of biodiversity, agrobiodiversity and ecosystem services. The project is based on the transfer of skills and capacity building. In other words, the partners will support the BIOPOLIS research center in its development and overall operation, as well as in its R&D&I activities. The University of Montpellier is a partner in the project, alongside the Portuguese research center CIBIO and the Porto Business School. BIOPOLIS is funded to the tune of 15 million euros over 7 years by the European H2020 Teaming program, which aims to develop less advanced areas, in this case northern Portugal, supported by more advanced areas, in this case France. The project is also receiving 15 million euros in funding from the North Region of Portugal, as part of the ERDF program. 3 strategic pillars: Assessment and monitoring of the environment and biodiversity Ecosystem functioning, services and restoration Agrobiodiversity, conservation and competitiveness of local genetic resources and agricultural systems.
