Nature-based Solutions on existing infrastructures for resilient Water Management in the Mediterranean

Clustering

The NATMed project actively engages in clustering activities with a range of EU-funded initiatives working on water management, Nature-based Solutions, and Mediterranean environmental challenges. Through continuous exchange with sister projects and relevant networks, NATMed aims to stay informed about ongoing research and best practices, identify synergies, and foster collaboration. This coordinated approach enhances knowledge sharing, avoids duplication of efforts, and strengthens the overall impact of project outcomes in addressing water scarcity, ecosystem degradation, and climate resilience across the Mediterranean region.
