The EU-funded EKLIPSE Project aims to establish a robust and flexible long-term mechanism to provide knowledge for policy support on biodiversity and ecosystem services. It aims to communicate and engage with a wide set of knowledge holders in its work to ensure tailor-made results to knowledge requesters and society more broadly.
EKLIPSE has recently issued four open calls that may be of interest to the broader GGKP community:
