AquaTRAIN
AquaTRAIN is a Marie Curie Research Training Network established specifically to develop a better understanding of the behaviour and environmental impact, including human health, of geogenic elements, in groundwater and soils in the European Union.
The AquaTRAIN research training network integrates 16 leading centres in Europe active in soil/water systems research within a coherent framework of dedicated young researchers through a joint innovative research programme focused on the cycling of chemicals between soil/sediment and water, and the implications for environmental protection, remediation and management. For more information see http://www.aquatrain.eu/
EPOCA
The EU FP7 Integrated Project EPOCA (European Project on OCean Acidification) was launched in June 2008 for 4 years. The overall goal is to advance our understanding of the biological, ecological, biogeochemical, and societal implications of ocean acidification.
FIMIN
FIMIN: The Functionality of Iron Minerals in Environmental Processes is an ESF Research Network Program, duration : May 2009 - May 2013 .
HYPER
HYPER is a three year (2009-2011) EU-project funded by the Baltic Organisations Network for Funding Science (BONUS EEIG). The overall goal of HYPER is to establish a sound scientific basis for nutrient management in the Baltic Sea to reduce hypoxia and re-establish desired ecosystem services.
MIDDLE
Within ESF-theme EuroDEEP: Ecosystem Functioning and Biodiversity in the Deep Sea , the MIDDLE project ( MI crobial D iversity in the D eepest hypersaline anoxic L ak E s) focused on biological characteristics and processes in the deep sea, in particular those in the deep Ionian brine basins (UU-PhD: 2008-2012)
MOCCHA
Within the ESF-theme EuroMARC (European Collaboration for Implementation of Marine Research on Cores) the MOCCHA project ( M ultidisciplinary study O f C ontinental/ocean C limate dynamics using H igh-resolution records from the eastern mediterrane A n ) focuses on the nearcoastal sediments of Taranto Gulf and the laminated sediments from the Ionian anoxic brine basins (UU-PhD: 2009-2013)
MOLTER
Natural molecular structures as drivers and tracers of terrestrial C fluxes is an ESF Research Network Program.
MOLTER aims at stimulating European research on isotopic and organic chemistry exploration of carbon stabilization and biogeochemistry in terrestrial ecosystems and soils in particular. Our understanding of the formation, stabilisation and decomposition of complex organic compounds in the environment (e.g., organic matter in plants, litter, soils and water) is currently being revolutionized by advanced techniques in identification, quantification, and origin tracing of functional groups and individual molecules. MOLTER promotes exchanges of ideas on emerging concepts and paradigms in this important field of research.
For more information see http://www.molter.no/
ReCosy
ReCosy is a four year (2008-2012) Collaborative Project under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) starting on 1 April 2008. Main objectives of ReCosy are the sound understanding of redox phenomena controlling the long-term release/retention of radionuclides in nuclear waste disposal and providing tools to apply the result to Performance Assessment/Safety Case.
T he 32 partners of ReCosy include the key European Research Institutes and Universities from 13 EURATOM signatory states, Russia and one European Joint Research Centre.
SOWACOR
SOWACOR is an international research Center-In-Development funded by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), in Saudi Arabia , via the Global Research Partnership program. The Center-in-Development for SOil, WAter and COastal Resources - SOWACOR - is established in July 2008 to develop a permanent research and teaching cooperation between KAUST and western European universities. SOWACOR is directed by the Dept. of Earth Sciences in Utrecht and involves cooperation of 52 participants from seven research groups of five core and nine associated partners in the Netherlands and other western European countries with major scientific efforts at Utrecht University . For more information see http://www.sowacor.nl/
BALTIC GAS
BALTIC GAS is a three year (2009-2011) EU-project funded by the Baltic Organisations Network for Funding Science (BONUS EEIG). BALTIC GAS aims to understand how climate change and long-term eutrophication affect the accumulation of shallow gas and the emission of methane and hydrogen sulphide from the seabed to the water column and atmosphere.

AquaTRAIN
AquaTRAIN is a Marie Curie Research Training Network established specifically to develop a better understanding of the behaviour and environmental impact, including human health, of geogenic elements, in groundwater and soils in the European Union.
The AquaTRAIN research training network integrates 16 leading centres in Europe active in soil/water systems research within a coherent framework of dedicated young researchers through a joint innovative research programme focused on the cycling of chemicals between soil/sediment and water, and the implications for environmental protection, remediation and management. For more information see http://www.aquatrain.eu/
EPOCA
The EU FP7 Integrated Project EPOCA (European Project on OCean Acidification) was launched in June 2008 for 4 years. The overall goal is to advance our understanding of the biological, ecological, biogeochemical, and societal implications of ocean acidification.
HYPER
HYPER is a three year (2009-2011) EU-project funded by the Baltic Organisations Network for Funding Science (BONUS EEIG). The overall goal of HYPER is to establish a sound scientific basis for nutrient management in the Baltic Sea to reduce hypoxia and re-establish desired ecosystem services.
ReCosy
ReCosy is a four year (2008-2012) Collaborative Project under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) starting on 1 April 2008. Main objectives of ReCosy are the sound understanding of redox phenomena controlling the long-term release/retention of radionuclides in nuclear waste disposal and providing tools to apply the result to Performance Assessment/Safety Case.
The 32 partners of ReCosy include the key European Research Institutes and Universities from 13 EURATOM signatory states, Russia and one European Joint Research Centre.
SOWACOR
SOWACOR is an international research center-in-development funded by King Abdullah University Of Science And Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia . The Center-in-Development for SOil, WAter and COastal Resources - SOWACOR - is established to develop a permanent research and teaching cooperation between KAUST and western European universities.
SOWACOR is directed by the Dept. of Earth Sciences in Utrecht en involves cooperation with several core and associated partners in the Netherlands and other western European countries.
For more information see http://www.sowacor.nl/
BALTIC GAS
BALTIC GAS is a three year (2009-2011) EU-project funded by the Baltic Organisations Network for Funding Science (BONUS EEIG). BALTIC GAS aims to understand how climate change and long-term eutrophication affect the accumulation of shallow gas and the emission of methane and hydrogen sulphide from the seabed to the water column and atmosphere.
