Hellenic Agricultural Organisation (ELGO-DIMITRA) with its 11 research institutes supports Greek agriculture to face the challenges arising from global changes. It brings together the largest applied agricultural research activity in Greece, aiming at mitigation and adaptation to climate change, conservation of natural resources, restoration of biodiversity, production of healthy food and competitiveness of agribusinesses, paving the way for sustainable farms and ensuring the resilience of production and the environment.
Seeking collaboration under Topic 2.1.1: Leveraging ecosystem functions and enhancing water allocation for the protection and restoration of non‑perennial watercourses in the Mediterranean.
A highly qualified and experienced Research Institute specializing in Water, Soil, and Environmental Sciences is interested in joining a consortium. The Institute can contribute a Greek case study of non‑perennial watercourses and offers extensive expertise in:
– Integrated management and simulation of water resources with emphasis on environmental sustainability
– Irrigation water management and deficit‑irrigation strategies
– Mathematical modeling of water flow and mass transport in soils and aquifers
– Hydrological and hydraulic modeling of rivers and lakes
– Assessing climate‑change impacts on water resources and aquatic/terrestrial ecosystems
– Determining environmentally sustainable minimum lake levels and river flows
– Investigating the impacts of microplastics on soils and evaluating soil‑amendment practices
The Institute is well-positioned to support project activities involving ecological restoration, water allocation optimization, environmental assessment, and nature‑based solutions across Mediterranean non-perennial river systems.
