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.Â
OurMED, a PRIMA-funded project, aims to design and explore innovative and sustainable storage and distribution systems tightly integrated into ecosystem management at the river basin scale.
SALAM-MED, a PRIMA-funded project, aims to develop and implement practical, Nature-based solutions to address land degradation and water scarcity in dryland areas of the Mediterranean region.
The MONALISA project is an Innovation Action Horizon project aimed at preventing and reversing Land Degradation and Desertification (LDD) across Mediterranean drylands.
Invest4Nature is an EU-funded project that contributes to the creation of a market for Nature-based Solutions.
Invest4Nature is an EU-funded project that contributes to the creation of a market for Nature-based Solutions.
DesirMED is a project funded under the Horizon Europe Programme prioritizing Nature-based Solutions (NbS), innovative technologies, and social practices to accelerate the transformation towards climate adaptation and resilience in the Mediterranean.
The MEDISS project aims to reduce groundwater consumption for irrigation, thereby alleviating pressure on stressed aquifers, improving soil quality through the use of less saline water, and enhancing agricultural productivity and diversification.
NatUR-W is regenerating Barrios Altos, a neighborhood in Lorca’s historic centre, to combat energy poverty and the inefficient use of natural water resources in the face of climate change and rising temperatures.
The UNaLab project contributed to the development of smarter, more inclusive, more resilient, and increasingly sustainable cities through the implementation of nature-based solutions.
NextGen4MED is an exciting initiative born within the SUSTAIN-MED working group, a collaborative effort uniting three PRIMA projects: OurMED, NATMed, and SALAM-MED. This platform aims to build a vibrant network of young researchers, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration across diverse fields of study to tackle the pressing challenges of sustainable water management in the Mediterranean hotspot.
NetworkNature is a Horizon project clustering nearly 100 Nature-based Solutions Horizon and Mission projects that provides a dynamic platform where stakeholders can access tailored resources, tools, and real-world examples to support the design, implementation, and mainstreaming of NbS.
The main objective of the I-ReWater project is to improve the management of water resources in agriculture, integrating the use of urban reclaimed water in agricultural crops and considering environmental aspects to ensure its good use due to the current climate crisis.
The INTEL-IRRIS project, part of the PRIMA Programme, aimed to support smallholder farmers in achieving more efficient management of available water resources by deploying an open, low-cost, and autonomous irrigation control system based on IoT and smart technologies.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s PRIMA Research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 2221.
