## Tips for applicants

- Confirm your consortium includes partners eligible under other participating countries' Biodiversa+ national agencies, since F.R.S.-FNRS only funds the Belgian French-Community share of the project.
- Align the proposal's framing with the BiodivFuture call text on novel ecosystems rather than general biodiversity conservation, as scope is narrower than standard Biodiversa+ calls.
- Check F.R.S.-FNRS's own administrative rules for Belgian partners, since transnational calls like this typically layer a national eligibility and funding-rules document on top of the joint call text.
