Description

This document is a deliverable of the BioAgora project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the grant agreement No 101059438.

The BioAgora project aims to set up a transformative Science Service for biodiversity (SSBD) within the EU, to link knowledge more effectively to policy making and implementation, so to contribute to enable the transformative changes necessary for reaching the goals of the BDS 2030. In this report we present a framework for assessing the potential of networks to contribute to transformative changes for biodiversity. Because of the setting up of the SSBD, the framework pays special attention to networks at the Science-Policy-Society Interfaces (SPSIs). The framework assumes that networks can only convincingly contribute to transformative change if they themselves work in transformative ways.
