The programme

The proposed project reflects the jointly identified need to strengthen the collaboration between the competent authorities and institutions of the two countries, with the aim to create common methodologies, guidelines, strategies, sustainable structures and harmonized data in water and soil ecosystem monitoring and management through the use of advanced technology for the promotion of protection of human life and environmental health. This common need for harmonization was identified by the two leading partners that initiated the development of the current project proposal, in the context of the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) which highlights the need for common approaches.
