It suits you if…

  • Your team studies insects, molluscs or crustaceans, including little-studied groups.
  • You want to measure how much each cause of decline weighs in different places and periods.
  • Your work covers land, fresh water or sea ecosystems in Europe.
  • You are a company, a public body, or a university or research organisation.

It is not for you if…

  • You are a private individual and not a company, public body or research organisation.
  • You want to grow your business in new markets and not do research.

How much you can get

The call has a total budget of €15,000,000 for all projects together, not for one project. The funding rate goes up to 100%. The call does not state a minimum or maximum grant per project, nor whether you must pay a share yourself. Ask the help desk before you write your budget.

  • If you spend €100,000, you receive €100,000 and pay €0 yourself.

What it pays and what it does not

Pays

  • Work to assess the direct and indirect causes of the decline of invertebrates.
  • Work to understand how strongly each cause weighs at different scales of place and time.

Does not pay

  • The consultant's fee for writing the proposal cannot go into the budget.
  • Works or purchases made before you apply.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Starting purchases or work before you apply. Consequence: Those costs may not be paid by the call.
  • Putting the proposal consultant's fee in the budget. Consequence: In EU calls this cost cannot go into the budget.
  • Applying as a type of organisation the call does not list. Consequence: The application can be rejected as not eligible.
  • Proposing a project about something other than the causes of invertebrate decline. Consequence: The proposal does not match the purpose of the call.
