Sustainable management of soil and groundwater under the pressure of soil pollution and soil contamination

The SNOWMAN project is one amongst more than 70 ERA-Nets run across the European Union and being funded by the 6. Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development of the European Commission. 15 of these are belonging to the Environment topic.

SNOWMAN understands itself as a network of European research funders and administrations providing the platform for soil and groundwater research bridging the gap between knowledge demand and supply.

The network consists of seven partner organisations from seven European Member States. SNOWMAN as an ERA-Net has worked out documents and a mechanism on how to realise the trans-national cooperation in research funding between the project's partner countries resulting in a coordinated call for research. It is the only ERA-Net dealing with the soil topic.
