A leading figure in paleontology, Colombian scientist Carlos Jaramillo specializes in the evolution of Amazonian-Andean ecosystems over the past 120 million years. The researcher at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute has, in particular, shed light on the origins of the region’s rich biodiversity.

Contribute to the development and international outreach of a Center of Research for Biodiversity Research in Portugal by sharing the expertise and knowledge available 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 Center of Excellence for Research, Development, and Innovation in the fields of biodiversity, agrobiodiversity, and ecosystem services. The project is based on skills transfer and capacity building. This means that the partners must support the BIOPOLIS research center in its development, overall operations, and R&D&I activities. The University of Montpellier is a project partner alongside the Portuguese research center CIBIO and the Porto Business School. BIOPOLIS is funded to the tune of 15 million euros over seven years by the European H2020 Teaming program, which aims to develop so-called less advanced regions—in this case, northern Portugal—with guidance and support from other so-called more advanced regions, in this instance France. The project also receives €15 million in funding from the Northern Portugal Region under 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.  Our Actions Calls for Proposals 2024 Call for Proposals: Recruitment of Young Researchers This call for proposals is part of a European project funded by the H2020 Teaming program (“Biopolis”).
