The flooding ERA-Net (CRUE) further enhances its information platform by giving access to flood-related research projects funded across Europe
CRUISE (CRUe Information System Europe) provides a web-based starting point for users interested in finding out more about European flood-related research, both at the research programme level and the individual project level. Until now there has been no one-stop-shop for European countries to exchange relevant research experience on flood risk management. Enhancements include access to more than 480 completed or on-going flood-related research projects, funding initiatives and other relevant actions that have been funded over the last 10 years in the CRUE partner countries as well as a facility to analyse quickly flood-related research gaps and requirements (CRUISE Research compass). Today’s upgrade is part of a series of improvements to CRUISE that took place this year. CRUISE now allows the user to search for flood-related information on four different levels across Europe - research programmes, research projects, funding bodies and research units. The database provides users with the opportunity to summarise key information on selected research programmes or projects. It also provides extensive contacts details and links to relevant organisations’ websites. John Goudie, CRUE Project Co-ordinator: “The most recent CRUISE release improves the usability and content of our shared database on national and European flood-related research. The release was developed and supported by CRUE partners in direct response to the needs of the European Member States in implementing the EU Floods Directive. Easy access to research information is one of the most challenging issues for research funding bodies to tackle in order to make the European Research Area (ERA) a reality. CRUE is proud to contribute to this vision and to support stakeholders involved in flood risk management by sharing valuable research information across Europe.”
