To contribute to the development and international outreach of a Center of Excellence in Research s on biodiversity 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 in Research, Development, and Innovation in the fields of biodiversity, agrobiodiversity, and ecosystem services. Research The project is based on skills transfer and capacity building. In other words, the partners are tasked with supporting 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 receiving 15 million euros in funding over seven years from 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 euros in funding from the Northern Portugal Region under the ERDF program. 3 strategic pillars: Environmental and biodiversity assessment and monitoring Ecosystem functioning, services, and restoration Agrobiodiversity, conservation, and competitiveness of local genetic resources and agricultural systems.  Our Initiatives 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”).
