ANAEE-ERIC Call for Ecology Research

Paris, July 4, 2025 

AnaEE-ERIC announces its inaugural call for proposals, inviting researchers from member institutions an beyond to access Europe's most comprehensive network of experimental ecology facilities. The call runs from June 2nd through October 3rd, 2025.

This first call offers researchers from some of Europe's most distinguished research institutions unprecedented access to 60+ highly instrumented installations across all continental ecosystem types – from tropical and mountain environments to wetlands, forests, and agro-ecosystems.

COLLABORATIVE IMPACT

The call encourages inter- and transdisciplinary applications, fostering collaboration between member institutions to address critical environmental challenges including climate change adaptation, biodiversity loss, and sustainable land management. AnaEE-ERIC's facilities enable controlled ecosystem studies that provide essential data for evidence-based environmental policy.

"This first call represents an invitation to shape the future of European ecosystem research through collaborative breakthroughs. Science has a critical role in addressing humanity's challenges by bridging knowledge gaps, proposing viable solutions, and engaging with citizens, society, and economic actors. Our experimental approach allows us to predict functional changes, anticipate shifts in ecosystem services, and test solutions that enhance resilience in the face of climate change and extreme events."

Michel Boër, Director General AnaEE-ERIC
