CO-OP4CBD partners from the Transformative Change Cluster featured in European Commission publication
In May 2025, the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) of the European Commission published a brochure singling out EU-funded projects dedicated to facilitating transformative change for biodiversity. More than 40 initiatives were featured in the showcase, including long-standing partners of CO-OP4CBD from the Transformative Change Cluster such as BAMBOO, BioAgora, BIONEXT, BIOTraCes, BIOTRAILS, BioValue, CLEVER, PLANET4B, RAINFOREST, TC4BE and TRANSPATH.
