Participation
The Exploratories on Functional Biodiversity Research offer a modern and interdisciplinary platform in the field of biodiversity and ecosystem research. If you would like to participate in the Exploratories, you can apply for a DFG grant in the next call for proposals. We will keep you informed about current developments on this page.
Alternatively, you can always apply for a cooperation with your own funds at the steering committee of the Exploratories.
The 8th phase of the Biodiversity Exploratories began on 1 March 2026 and will run until 28 February 2029. Information on application opportunities for the subsequent 9th phase will be published here at a later date.
Cooperations can be arranged at all times after reviewing project suitability. The application is submitted to the steering committe of the Biodiversity Exploratories. Detailed information on how to apply can be obtained from the central coordination office (beo@bio.tu-darmstadt.de).
