Participate in the development and international influence of a Center of Research on Biodiversity in Portugal, sharing the skills 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 operation, and 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 receiving €15 million in funding over seven years from the European H2020 Teaming program, which aims to develop so-called less advanced areas, in this case northern Portugal, with the support and guidance of other so-called more advanced areas, in this case France. The project also receives €15 million in funding from the Northern Region of Portugal as part of the ERDF program.
