Tethys Roadmap towards enhanced public and cross institutional data availability in the Danube river basin available

The Roadmap towards enhanced public and cross institutional data availability in the Danube river basin is now available for download.

This document has been developed as a deliverable of Tethys project with the intention to support the further improvement of data availability, accessibility, sharing, and re-use for the purpose of modelling of hazardous substances pollution in the Danube River Basin. It provides an evidence-based assessment of the current situation, identifies key gaps, and challenges, and presents strategic recommendations that may guide future actions, policy discussions, institutional cooperation, and technical improvements.

All results are based on information provided by the Tethys project partners, giving an insight into the current national practices on data management and sharing in eleven countries of the Danube River Basin - Austria, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina -Republik Srpska, Croatia, Hungary, Montenegro, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine.

The proposed goals, objectives, and actions are therefore intended to serve as a common reference framework for the relevant stakeholders from all the Danube River countries, rather than as a detailed operational plan.
