Objective
NET-BIOME brings together 7 outermost regions and several overseas territories which belong to Europe but are located in tropical and subtropical areas. They are characterised by 3 main features: (a) their terrestrial and marine biodiversity is exceptional (b) their environments are most exposed to the climate change impact, natural hazards and pressures of human activities (c) biodiversity is a fundamental asset for their economic development.Today the local authorities fund and/or manage research activities in this thematic area. They develop original strategies and models which could be shared by as well as transposed to continental Europe: adaptation to climatic change and anthropic pressures, conservation and management of biodiversity in an integrated and sustainable manner. However, for several reasons (distances, isolation, deficiency of resources and critical mass, access to facilities and information), both cooperation and coordination of research activities are poorly done, between the regions themselves and between them and continental EU. Therefore, there is a lack of trans-regional funding and integration of research on biodiversity. Local authorities have decided to prepare a regional ERA-NET in order to initiate and stimulate co-operation and co-ordination of research programmes for the sustainable and integrated management of biodiversity in a step-by-step approach: 1- Collect, exchange and provide access to information on research programmes, actors and results by building an interactive information system; 2. Design a joint strategy profile including the analysis of barriers to cooperation and of common strategic issues and good practices; 3. Develop joint activities such as clustering of regionally funded research projects, mutual access to facilities and human resources, specific cooperation agreements; 4. Enlarge the network at the European and international levels and set up a European programme and permanent Forum on tropical biodiversity.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
