BioStrat is a Specific Support Action (SSA) funded by the EU Sixth Research Framework Programme (FP6) and coordinated by the Institute of Ecology and Botany of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The project involves 34 partners from 32 countries and aims to further develop the EU Biodiversity Research Strategy making wise use of the existing structures. To achieve its objective, the project covers the financial and management charges associated with the organization of the biannual meetings of the European Platform for Biodiversity Research Strategy (EPBRS) and its publications; and the establishment and support of National Biodiversity Platforms. BioStrat carries out an intensive “networking” activity to harmonize the Strategy with other FP6 and FP7 projects and other international initiatives. Another main goal of BioStrat is to promote the production of national reviews related to the topic of EPBRS meetings, in which National Biodiversity Platforms have a key role. In BioStrat, Median is leading Workpackage 4 "Linking EU Biodiversity Research Strategy with international initiatives".
