Pairi Daiza Foundation Grant for Biodiversity and Conservation Research

International funding opportunity to enable postgraduate students and early career researchers to conduct research related to animal biodiversity conservation.

The Pairi Daiza Foundation was established to: draw attention to the value of biodiversity, create a stronger bond with nature, and create a lasting commitment to its conservation.

The Foundation provides the Pairi Daiza Foundation Grant for Biodiversity and Conservation Research in partnership with the Royal Belgian Zoological Society (RBZS) to promote research related to animal biodiversity conservation. Funding is available to support scientific projects linked to animal biodiversity conservation in its broadest sense, focusing on one or several animal species.

Field trips and stays at a zoo, aquarium, museum or institution are eligible. Multi-institution projects are encouraged but not mandatory. Projects involving the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) are preferred, but the involvement of a zoo or aquarium is not mandatory.
