«DANUBIUS Implementation Phase Project – DANUBIUS-IP», Grant Agreement № 101079778 (01.10.2022 – 30.09.2025)

 

Program: Horizon Europe, HORIZON-INFRA-2021-DEV-02-02

 

The purpose and tasks of the project:

DANUBIUS-IP is a coordination and facilitation project to support the ongoing development of “The international center for advanced studies on river-sea systems” (DANUBIUS-RI) – an ecological research infrastructure connecting rivers and seas – at the stage of exploitation.

 

The aim of the project is to ensure the successful launch of DANUBIUS-ERIC and enable DANUBIUS-RI to move into the operational phase.

 

The project offers 7 work packages, which together should:

– develop a new RI management structure during the transition to DANUBIUS-ERIC;

– implement the Science and Innovation Agenda with the support of flexible scientific services with quality assurance;

– demonstrate the value of RI through examples of the unique services that RI can offer to end users across Europe and internationally;

– to expand the DANUBIUS-RI community and increase its position in European and international environmental RI;

– ensure broad awareness of DANUBIUS-RI’s potential to have significant social and economic impact.

 

Expected results:

– Ensure the successful launch of DANUBIUS-ERIC by effectively transitioning from the current management structure to a DANUBIUS-ERIC specific one.

– Developing and strengthening the capacity of DANUBIUS-RI by connecting RI to major relevant European initiatives (such as EOSC), successfully implementing FAIR and open data policies and enabling full connectivity to the virtual world of specific DANUBIUS-RI services.
