Danubius-Ri

DANUBIUS-RI will be the International Centre for Advanced Studies on River-Sea Systems. We were accepted on the ESFRI Roadmap in 2016 and are on course to becoming an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium), supporting interdisciplinary research on large river-sea systems. Surface waters have a key role in global biogeochemical cycles, food and energy production, and societal wellbeing. They face pressures from natural and anthropogenic driven environmental perturbations at local and global scales. DANUBIUS-RI will provide access to a range of European river-sea systems, facilities and expertise; a ‘one-stop shop’ for knowledge exchange in managing river-sea systems; access to harmonised data; and a platform for interdisciplinary research, inspiration, education and training.
