Dear Luca

 

I hope you are fine.

 

Great initiative !

 

We also play with the idea of something like that, only limit is the availability of old data of course.

However in the 80’s a large amount of Malaise traps were installed in Belgium and screened for several groups. We intend to start already this year with a new sampling at the exact same spot after let’s say more than 30 years….

 

So if something might come out of your call, from the Belgian site I’m really interested to go ahead with you.

 

Cheers

Wouter

Subject: Re: [CETAF_Members] Collecting ideas for a "Mission Biodiversity" under Horizon Europe

 

Dear Ana, Vanessa, Carole, Patricia and Karsten,

 

I send you in attachment a short file with some thoughts about a possible challenge (the insects decline and its consequences) that should require a long term pan European effort to measure the problem, to undertand the causes and to propose possible solutions or mitigation procedures.

 

I do not know is these thoughts can enter, or not, in the conceptual framework of "Missions under Horizon Europe"... anyway - as you requested - I used my imagination! :-)

 

Let me know your advice.

 

Ciao to you all

Luca

Dear CETAF colleagues,

 

At CETAF 44, the CETAF European Initiatives Advisory Group presented to you the developments regarding the new framework programme Horizon Europe. Within this programme lies a new opportunity to further establish our position as scientific institutions who conduct cutting edge, socially relevant research: the so-called missions. For this new instrument, proposals can be submitted that might later get taken up.

 

This is our chance to shine and submit a great proposal to persuade the European Commission to dedicate funding to a Mission Biodiversity. These mission proposals have certain requirements that need to be fulfilled. You will find those and further information in the attached document.

 

We now call upon you, the scientists that actually do the research in our institutions, to be imaginative and submit your ideas as to what such a Mission Biodiversity could entail. Be bold! Suggest what you otherwise might think impossible, what you always needed for really advancing biodiversity research but seemed unrealistic to obtain the funding for.

 

The best suggestions will be presented at CETAF45 in Tartu and will form the basis of a workshop at Biodiversity_next in October.

 

Please submit your ideas no later than 18 March 2019 to info@cetaf.org!

 

With our best regards,

Ana Casino, Vanessa Demanoff, Carole Paleco, Patricia Mergen, Karsten Gödderz
