Addressing climate change and biodiversity loss in an integrated manner is essential to building resilient societies and sustainable economies. The EU-funded GREEN TALENT project will build capacity, promote networking and facilitate knowledge exchange through four demonstration hubs in Malta, Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria. GREEN TALENT aims to address gaps in knowledge, skills, and competences in research and innovation (R&I) and support the green transition by contributing to halting biodiversity loss, and advancing climate mitigation and adaptation through capacity-building, networking, and knowledge exchange.

Academic and SME partners provide expertise, support secondments and connect to international R&I efforts, while partners based outside of the four demonstration hub countries enhance capacity building and cooperation. The project will develop five open-access training modules on R&I topics, including grant management and entrepreneurship, as well as five interdisciplinary modules focused on nature-based solutions. The demonstration pilots will deliver practical solutions to climate and biodiversity challenges, fostering collaboration between academic and non-academic sectors.

GREEN TALENT comprises 17 partner organisations across 11 countries. Learn more at the GREEN TALENT website.
