The overall objective of the DANUBIUS-RO project is to build, equip and operationalise the Romanian components of the DANUBIUS-RI pan-European distributed research infrastructure dedicated to river-sea systems, in order to transfer knowledge to stakeholders. The DANUBIUS-RI project has been accepted on the ESFRI Roadmap 2016 and is the only ESFRI project introduced on this Roadmap by Romania and coordinated by our country.

DANUBIUS-RO is addressed to the entire international research community and will bring multiple benefits to Romanian research and the socio-economic environment. It creates a national hub for innovation and the transfer of knowledge and advanced technologies in the field of research on the effects of climate change on large river-sea systems, with a focus on transition zones.

The DANUBIUS-RO project transfers research results to the business environment through a partnership with 10 SMEs to develop innovative and viable business solutions.
