Facilitating Research on Danube, Coastal Areas and Delta

The aim of DANCERS was to develop new instruments and tools that would enhance environmental research and promote innovation in the Danube Region, including the Danube Delta and the Black Sea. Importantly, the new instruments and tools did not start ab initio but built on existing projects – covering multiple source of funding (public, private or PPP), whether national, regional or European – which was identified and clustered.
The project undertook a critical analysis of what had been achieved so far in the region and built upon results of achievements to-date, to design innovative solutions to strengthen knowledge transfer in this area. This was achieved by gathering top level representatives of the academia and business communities as well as decision makers, specialized in various sectors of integrated management of the Danube –Black Sea macrosystem.
The work was structured on the three main pillars of Research and Innovation (i. Science and Innovation Agenda, ii. Research Infrastructures and iii. Human Capital) – and their relation to the three principal categories of stakeholders: i. Policy and Decision Makers, ii. Business / Industry community and iii. Academia.
