Cooperation & ESFRI

The CENAKVA Research Center actively contributes to the development of the European Research Area through its participation in European research infrastructures DANUBIUS, LTER, and GenoPhenix. Based on a Memorandum of Understanding, CENAKVA also collaborates with the national infrastructure ELIXIR CZ (the national node of the European infrastructure ELIXIR RI), supporting intensive cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the development of innovative approaches in the field of biological data and aquaculture. Furthermore, CENAKVA is part of the Czech node of the European initiative EOSC (European Open Science Cloud). Within the Czech EOSC CZ, we are actively involved in the working groups “Environmental Sciences” and “Bio/Health/Food.” This collaboration enables us to share our expertise and contribute to the advancement of open science in Europe.

  • DANUBIUS RI

    DANUBIUS RI /the International Centre for Advanced Studies on River-Sea Systems/ is an innovative international research center specializing in the study of rivers and seas. Its main goal is to explore the interrelationships between river and marine ecosystems, including river mouths, deltas, and lagoons.

    “Supersites” are key components of the distributed research infrastructure DANUBIUS-RI. They serve as testing environments for scientifically excellent concepts, which will be further developed, validated, and applied under real-world conditions.

    Within the international platform DANUBIUS ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium), which focuses on comprehensive research of freshwater ecosystems, CENAKVA acts as the coordinating partner of one of the key components of the distributed infrastructure – the so-called SUPERSITE Hydrological Nexus of Central Europe.
