The AquaINFRA Virtual Research Environment (VRE) provides researchers in the aquatic sciences with a powerful, open platform for reproducible data analysis and workflow sharing.

Built on the Galaxy platform, Binder, and OGC API processes, the VRE enables users to access, process, and publish data using a flexible, user-friendly canvas that supports widely used tools and programming languages such as R and Python.

Designed to support FAIR and open data principles, the VRE is fully integrated with the AquaINFRA Interaction Platform (AIP) and connected to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Researchers can run workflows developed in AquaINFRA’s case studies, modify or extend them, and publish outputs via Zenodo with full provenance.

While Galaxy is currently the core component of the VRE, it offers a robust foundation for future integration of additional tools. A dedicated subdomain ensures that tools are tailored to the AquaINFRA user community, combining ease of access with powerful analytical capabilities.

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for seven years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We know that we can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play and especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as It is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
