The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has launched a call for the National Research Programme "Promoting Biodiversity and Sustainable Ecosystem Services for Switzerland" (NRP 82) based on its mandate from the Federal Council.
The programme aims at providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing, and opportunities offered by, biodiversity and ecosystem services, and at developing practical solutions for their conservation and sustainable use. Project consortia consisting of researchers and societal actors from policy and practice (e.g. non-profit public organisations, NGOs) are invited to submit proposals that are in line with the programme’s objectives. Stakeholder involvement is emphasised in this programme and projects are expected to use a transdisciplinary approach engaging with relevant actors from civil society as well as the private and public sectors.
