AQUA-INTEL AQUA-INTEL: Smart Underwater Networks for Enhanced Water Quality Management
Coordinator: UNIVERSITA TA MALTA (MT)
Water quality monitoring is essential for protecting aquatic ecosystems and ensuring safe water resources in the EU and associated countries. Traditional sampling methods provide limited data and are resource-intensive. Recent technological advances have enabled more continuous and automated monitoring approaches, but implementing comprehensive underwater sensor networks remains challenging. The Mediterranean region faces unique water quality issues due to its climate and human pressures. Only 40% of EU surface waters achieve good ecological status, with southern European countries particular…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2026-01-01 to 2028-06-30.
