LIFEWATCH FOCUS

  • LifeWatch Construction Database Published!

    altThe current preparatory phase is developing the LifeWatch Masterplan containing information about the construction process and organization process. The Masterplan will be published later. Complementary to the LifeWatch Masterplan, the LifeWatch Construction Database offers information on the Construction Projects, the Construction Components and the Construction Issues defining the LifeWatch European Research Infrastructure. The LifeWatch Construction Database provides a specification of all products and activities necessary to construct the infrastructure and start the initial operations.

    LifeWatch is an e-Science infrastructure that serves to explore, describe and understand patterns in biodiversity and the processes that maintain biodiversity in space and time at the gene, species, and ecosystem (landscape) level.

"LifeWatch Supporting Project" Label PDF Print

LifeWatch applicationsResearchers frequently ask how they can be involved in the development process of the LifeWatch research infrastructure. Indeed, the European scientific and technical community has much to offer. Although LifeWatch cannot provide direct funding, many countries are involved in its preparatory phase. It may therefore may be of some advantage to your project if it is seen to be supporting the development of LifeWatch. It is now possible to request a label as LifeWatch Supporting project for projects which clearly contribute to the LifeWatch infrastructure development. The affiliated project has the right to use the LifeWatch logo in all project communications and is valid for the agreed project duration. LifeWatch lists the affiliation on this website.

TWReferenceNET: a LifeWatch Supporting Project PDF Print

TWReferenceNET is an example of an international LifeWatch Supporting Project focused on the conservation and management of biodiversity in the Mediterranean and Black Sea lagoons. At the completion in 2006 the project has developed a transitional water data platform on flora and invertebrate fauna of the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea lagoons. This platform produces tangible services for targeted lagoon ecosystem stakeholders. TWReferenceNET is a data provider for the LifeWatch structure, and represents one of the show cases (Lagoon Networks show case) on how LifeWatch could operate.
