Abstract del progetto

The Preparatory Phase Project for the European Long-term Ecosystem Research Infrastructure (eLTER PPP) is a HORIZON 2020 funded Coordination and Support Action for the detailed specification and high level decision making towards the level of legal, financial and technical maturity required for eLTER RI´s implementation. Therein, eLTER PPP will closely interact with eLTER PLUS to secure the highest relevance of eLTER RI services for the related research communities and other eLTER RI user groups.

The eLTER Preparatory Phase Project (eLTER PPP) marks a decisive phase towards achieving the long-term strategic goals of the eLTER Research Infrastructure (eLTER RI).

Description of the eLTER-RI
eLTER - Research Infrastructure (eLTER-RI) will adopt a fundamentally systemic approach to observe and analyse the environmental system, encompassing biological, geological, hydrological and socio-ecological perspectives.
While several existing thematic environmental RIs focus on impacts of climate change and/or other elements of environmental change, eLTER RI will be the only research infrastructure embracing holistically the integrated impacts of such stressors on a wide variety of European benchmark ecosystems (major geo-eco-sociological systems across the continent’s eco-climatological zones and Earth’s critical zone).
eLTER RI will comprise terrestrial, freshwater and transitional water sites. It will allow in-situ, co-located acquisition and gathering of Essential Variables ranging from bio-physicochemical to biodiversity and socio-ecological data. Ecosystem change caused by long-term pressures and short-term pulses will be investigated in a nested design across the scales covered by the eLTER RI site network.
● Establishing the vision, mission and strategic collaboration schemes of the eLTER RI, securing a solid anchoring and role in the European RI landscape international collaborations on global Grand challenges
● Define the requirements of the eLTER RI to be met by the Central services in support of excellent ecosystem research and other user groups
● Finalize the criteria to be met by National Research Infrastructure (NRI) components of eLTER RI, and establish a site labelling process to support the national eLTER ESFRI processes
● Set up eLTER RI’s communication, dissemination and marketing strategies and procedures suited for seamless continuation in eLTER RI
