The objective of the initiative is to provide an overarching platform connecting national, local and European research and innovation programmes and combining in-cash and in-kind resources in support of one goal - by 2030 biodiversity in Europe is back on a path of recovery.
It co-develops multidisciplinary research and innovation programmes with stakeholders, setting up a European network of harmonised observatories for biodiversity monitoring, providing evidence base for nature-based solutions development and deployment, as well as implementing a broad range of activities to increase the relevance, impact and visibility of EU research and innovation in tackling the biodiversity crisis in line with the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
