Ecochange granted 2 more years of funding

The Ecochange research program, a collaboration between research groups at LNU and Umeå Universities, has been granted another two years of funding. Ecochange research endeavors are focused on the study of food web ecology and climate change effects in the Baltic Sea. A collective of research groups led by fifteen PIs at both universities, as well as SLU and  international collaborators, Ecochange has produced over 300 peer-reviewed articles on Baltic Sea climate change research between its inception in 2011, has graduated over fifty doctoral and master students, and has established itself as a vital partner in the Swedish Agency for Sea and Water Management. Its role in Baltic Sea research is wide-reaching and unparalleled. For more information on Ecochange, visit https://www.umu.se/en/ecochange/.

Ahead of the launch of the EU4Algae stakeholder forum, DG MARE are collecting views, needs and expectations from EU algae stakeholders.
