The BioResources and Technology Team (BRT), as part of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), is proud to coordinate the EU-funded project BIO-CAPITAL, which brings together researchers and practitioners to address a crucial question: How can biodiversity uplift be achieved - and sustainably financed?

 

BIO-CAPITAL investigates the actors, policy frameworks, and financial mechanisms needed to enable biodiversity gains, and tests these through real-world use cases across Europe. BRT plays a central role in this ambitious initiative. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík, BRT Director, serves as the project coordinator and Work Package 1 lead, responsible for overseeing the implementation, coordination, and strategic progress of the project.

 

Earlier this year, the BIO-CAPITAL consortium convened in Prague, marking a pivotal moment in the project’s journey. Hosted at CZU, the meeting acted as a bridge between foundational research and the next phase of integration - setting the stage for turning ideas into action. As part of the meeting, our partners and Work Package 6 leads at OIKOPLUS captured a more personal side of the project by asking 19 consortium members to briefly introduce themselves and share their perspectives. The result is a series of short, engaging video snippets that offer a quick, human window into the diverse expertise and passion behind BIO-CAPITAL - answering the questions of who they are, what they work on, and why this project matters.
