As the project reaches its end, the KINDRA consortium proudly announces the project’s final conference. The theme will be “Making groundwater visible, accessible & esteemed”.  The consortium aims to showcase the results achieved by the project, such as the EIGR (European Inventory for Groundwater Research) as well as the methodology used for identifying gap analyses and its results, and, last but not least, start a conversation about the future of the Inventory with stakeholders and decision-makers to identify a roadmap for developing policies, strategies, and management options at European level related to groundwater.
 

About KINDRA:

Groundwater knowledge and research in the European Union is often scattered and non-standardised. Therefore KINDRA has conducted an EU-wide assessment of existing groundwater-related practical and scientific knowledge based on a new Hydrogeological Research Classification System (HRC-SYS). The classification is supported by a web-service, the European Inventory of Groundwater Research (EIGR), which acts not only as knowledge repository but also as a tool to help identify relevant research topics, existing research trends and critical research challenges. These results will be useful for producing synergies, implementing policies and optimising water management in Europe.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642047.
