NATURE-2027-01-03 | Systemic biodiversity transformation through multispecies design and participatory approaches

ACEAA – Association for Space, Art and Action – is a Spanish non-profit organisation and New European Bauhaus Community Partner seeking to join a consortium preparing a proposal for HORIZON-NATURE-2027-01-03 – Systemic approaches to accelerate transformative change for biodiversity.

Our expertise lies at the intersection of architecture, biodiversity, participatory design, multispecies research, ecological mapping and design-led approaches to socio-ecological transformation.

We can contribute to tasks related to:

• systemic and transdisciplinary approaches to biodiversity transformation;

• multispecies and more-than-human design;

• participatory and co-creation methodologies;

• ecological, spatial and trans-scalar mapping;

• relationships between biodiversity, spatial practices and social systems;

• nature-positive and regenerative design strategies;

• stakeholder engagement and community participation;

• design-led research and experimental methodologies;

• translation of ecological knowledge into spatial, cultural and experiential formats;

• communication, dissemination and public engagement.

ACEAA is particularly interested in transformative approaches that go beyond isolated technical interventions and address the cultural, spatial, social and political conditions shaping relationships between human communities, non-human organisms and ecosystems.

Our contribution can complement partners specialising in ecology, policy, economics, governance or environmental science by adding spatial, design, participatory and multispecies perspectives to systemic biodiversity transformation.

We are interested in contributing as a project partner and potential Task Leader, particularly in tasks related to co-creation, spatial strategies, stakeholder engagement, ecological mapping, design research and public participation.

We seek collaboration with universities, research centres, public authorities, NGOs, municipalities, environmental organisations, cultural institutions and other actors working on biodiversity and transformative change.
