European research partners

Our goal is to enhance the current network of renowned European research institutes that have practical experience in flood and drought risk management in transboundary regional river basins. 

The majority of the research will be conducted by this coalition of research institutes, and if necessary, other institutes will be brought in to provide additional expertise for project-specific activities.
