About the

PROJECT

The DANSER project is a multidisciplinary initiative focused on the restoration and sustainable management of sediments across the Danube River Basin. This project addresses the pressing challenges caused by climate change and human impact, aiming to restore sediment balance, enhance sediment flow, and improve the quality of water and sediments within the ecosystem. It combines cutting-edge technologies such as sediment transport modelling, geophysical surveys, and nature-based solutions for biodiversity enhancement.
