DANUBIUS-RI’s Vision is to achieve healthy River-Sea Systems and advance their sustainable use, in order to live within the planet’s ecological limits by 2050.

DANUBIUS-RI’s Mission is to facilitate excellent science on the continuum from river source to sea; to offer state-of-the art research infrastructure; and to provide the integrated knowledge required to sustainably manage and protect River-Sea Systems.

DANUBIUS-RI’s Goal is to overcome the current fragmentation of science, knowledge, data and management in rivers and seas by integrating spatial, temporal, disciplinary and sectoral thinking. DANUBIUS-RI aims to:

• Advance Scientific Knowledge: Generate high-quality data and innovative models to understand the dynamics of River-Sea Systems.
• Support Sustainable Management: Provide insights and tools for policymakers and stakeholders to manage resources sustainably.
• Promote Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Foster a network of scientists, institutions, and industries to address complex environmental challenges collectively.
• Enhance Education and Training: Offer platforms for learning and capacity-building to prepare the next generation of scientists and practitioners.
