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.

Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant coordinated the Glaukos project, which answered the call topic published in 2019 of Horizon 2020 Framework Programme ‘Develop bio-based fibres and/or functional molecules to improve the performance of textile products’ under the Framework of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). The consortium partners took up this challenge by valorising industrial side streams and setting up a circular approach to the textile industry.
