The Ecorys Croatia is searching for a coordinator in Horizon Europe Cluster 6 call: HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-BIODIV-01-two-stage: Living Labs for co-creating solutions for the restoration of ecosystems (RIA).

The project “ReNature-LL” builds on ENoLL Living Lab principles and foresees 3 Living Labs in at least 3 Member States / Associated Countries, with replication potential across major EU sea basins and biogeographical regions.

A nearly complete consortium is already in place (including ENoLL, WWF Adria, WWF Bulgaria and Romania, Ecorys entities, Energy Cities, Digital Innovation Hub Innovamare and others). But the partnership is currently seeking a strong coordinator – preferably a university or research institute with recognised expertise in biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and large Horizon Europe project coordination experience (see consortium overview on p.3 of the attached pitch.
