Copernicus Evolution – Research for harmonised and Transitional water Observation.

Multiscale Observation Networks for Optical monitoring of Coastal waters, Lakes and Estuaries

The overarching objective of the Lakes project is to produce and validate a consistent data set of the variables grouped under the Lakes ECV.

The International Centre for Advanced Studies on River-Sea Systems DANUBIUS-RI is a pan-European distributed research infrastructure supporting interdisciplinary research on River-Sea Systems.

Inventive forecasting tools for adapting water quality management to a new climate

A scientific partnership collecting the needs of the public and private sectors of the core Copernicus Program.

Europe’s environment is in an alarming state, with climate change expected to further aggravate the situation. This poses severe threats to economic prosperity, human wellbeing and social peace – our society needs systemic transformative change.
Ecosystem restoration is key to this change, and freshwaters play an important role: the restoration of streams, rivers, peatlands and wetlands has a long tradition and offers an extensive knowledge base – freshwaters are ideal demonstrators of the necessary change.
The MERLIN project commits to transformative ecosystem restoration, mainstreaming Nature-based Solutions for the urgent systemic change of our society.

DOORS will harmonise research and provide the infrastructure to better understand the Black Sea, particular ecosystem characteristics, develop the framework to support Blue Growth and early development of start-ups, and provide evidence to inform policy and behavioural change.
