LTER Sweden is a network of Swedish field stations conducting environmental research and monitoring. There are currently 19 LTER stations in Sweden. LTER Sweden is an umbrella for a number of established and highly instrumented stations for ecological research and monitoring. It is an open network and all Swedish research stations that fulfill some basic requirements are welcome to apply for membership. The Swedish LTER network provides its members opportunities for national and international cooperation, and access to state-of-the-art infrastructures for ecological field research through the European LTER network. LTER Sweden was founded in June 2010. The LTER Sweden network aim at: reinforcing Swedish environmental research and assessment by building capacity for data sharing and research cooperation between long-term monitoring and research stations and their associates. providing scientists with opportunities for research and environmental assessment at greater spatial and temporal scales than possible with data from one individual monitoring station. encouraging grant applications for research and environmental assessment activities that are not possible to conduct without the Swedish LTER network or international cooperation with other LTER organisations. encouraging new research areas and multidisciplinary research emerging from the network structure.

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.
