GeoNetSee will create a solution for monitoring unstable terrain and artificial structures, which will include a geosensor network and a platform for collecting, processing, and visualizing collected data in real-time. An innovation chain of technology and knowledge-intensive activities within the DRP region will be created to close off innovation gaps and the uptake of advanced technologies for a smarter and greener Danube region. The project will rely on existing infrastructure, experience, and knowledge from previously implemented and ongoing projects of similar character managed by project partners (GIMS, RISE, GeoTwinn (Horizon); EXA4MIND, safEarth, RESPONSa (Interreg); eTeren, BORIS, SoFPAS, GeoSES (infrastructure EU funded projects); MontePN, TRMODELL (innovative and IPA); URMA (Europan Space Agency funded project)). 

A collaborative digital platform that brings together universities, institutes, SMEs and governmental bodies will be established. This platform, called the Danube Collaborative Center (DCC) will share all collected data, research findings, best practices, and expertise in multidisciplinary domains. DCC will foster partnerships and collaboration with similar EU organizations and commissions, to leverage existing expertise, share resources, and align efforts in data collection, analysis, and knowledge sharing. As it will connect the DRP region, stakeholders and different research domains, it will transcend existing political borders and provide an opportunity for “vertical” communication between stakeholders (problem givers) and researchers (problem solvers). 

The solution will include the installation of permanent CORS stations in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, that would join the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) which also includes the EUREF Permanent global positioning satellite systems (GNSS) Network (EPN). This will provide added value to the GeoNetSee and ensure bi-directional data flow between GeoNetSee digital platform and EPOS network. 

Unstable terrain knows no national borders, and the GeoNetSee team offers a solution that is important for all members of the DRP region and beyond. Using cloud technologies, anyone can access relevant data and detect measurement values that exceed the tolerance threshold. In this way, a large amount of data is provided, which would enable further research and application of geosensor networks outside geodesy, for example in domains of geotechnical, geological analyses, damage, and risk assessments, planning adequate prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery measures, etc.
