European Projects
LIFE21-NAT-ES-LIFE KANTAURIBAI (101074197)
European project aiming to improve the conservation status of species and habitats linked to the river ecosystem in 15 Natura 2000 sites of rivers and tributaries flowing into the Bay of Biscay across 5 river basins shared between 3 regions (Navarra, Gipuzkoa, and Aquitaine).
H2020 - ID: 101032024
The Smart Fishways project addresses the challenge of assessing the effect of hydrological variability in fishways by developing a technological and methodological framework to monitor fishway performance in real-time.
LIFE 18 NAT/ES/000121
Environmental conservation project funded by the LIFE program. The actions proposed aim to maintain and improve the conservation status of habitats and species of community interest in the continental aquatic ecosystems of the Picos de Europa area.
H2020 - ID: 727830
FIThydro addresses the decision support in commissioning and operating hydropower plants (HPP) by using existing and innovative technologies. It concentrates on mitigation measures and strategies to develop cost-efficient environmental solutions.
LIFE 12 ENV/ES/001140
Demonstrative project in the Murcia Region (Segura and Moratalla rivers). It aimed to improve and strengthen connectivity between natural ecosystems through the removal of weirs and the construction of fishways.
