The STEP partner, the Laboratory of Biography and Ecology at the University of Aegean, Greece will be coordinating a project called POL-AEGIS. The project is funded by the EU and the Ministry of Education of Greece and will run from 2012 to 2015. It will focus on assessment of ecological and genetic diversity of pollinators in the Aegean region and will investigate the magnitude of different drivers affecting pollinator diversity. The project will also contribute towards the resolution of the Linnaean shortfall in Greece.
