Aim

To enhance the capacity and interoperability of R&I talents across academic and non-academic sectors through systemic approaches that identify gaps in knowledge, skills, and competences needed by Widening Countries and to address the green transition objectives of halting biodiversity loss and implementing climate mitigation and adaptation through capacity-building, knowledge exchange, and networking within four demonstration hubs, while fostering strong linkages with non-Widening Countries and international cooperation.

Objectives

Enabling Solutions Training for Impact Talent Without Borders Stronger Together

Developing a road map addressing the knowledge, skills, and competence gaps limiting R&I and uptake of solutions contributing to societal transformation and resilience to the biodiversity and climate crises.

Building R&I GREEN TALENT capacity in Widening Countries by promoting access to training on R&I support, knowledge valorisation, and innovative research on biodiversity and climate crises, delivered via 2 training schools and the GREEN TALENT Capacity-Building Platform.

Fostering cross-sectoral and cross-border talent exchange by scaling 4 pilots with academic and non-academic partners in Widening Countries, implementing 45 secondments, and improving career progression by 30%.

Enhance collaboration and synergies between sectors and improve the evidence base for improved R&I development and cross-sectoral uptake of nature-based and climate solutions.
