a) should address critical gaps in biodiversity data by mobilizing data, promoting its application in research and policymaking, and building sustainable networks and communities of practice committed to sharing open data on biodiversity;
b) must be aligned with the objectives of the BID call for proposals.
3. The project team must demonstrate sufficient previous experience within biodiversity data mobilization to be able to implement the project.
4. Types of grants:

b) Cross-regional biodiversity data mobilization grants
Funding: Up to €120,000.
