Project aim: The main objectives and methods of eLTER are: (1) identifying user needs for research infrastructure in relation to major societal challenges; (2) simplify the design of a cost-effective pan-European network, in collaboration with related global and European research infrastructures, e.g. LifeWatch; (3) develop an organizational framework for data integration and enable virtual access to LTER data; (4) fostering social relevance, usability and multiple use of information, data and services through new partnerships and the adoption of new measurement technologies.
&nbsp;
About the project: Collective efforts are needed to create an environmental research infrastructure to address the burning issues in a world of rapid social, economic and environmental change. The overall goal of the eLTER project is to improve the European network of sites for long-term research of ecosystems and socio-ecological research platforms, all to provide the highest quality services. The LTER-Europe network and the European Critical Zone community will work together to achieve these goals. 162 sites in 22 countries will provide data on long-term trends in environmental change. Test cases using this data will address a range of environmental and social issues to encourage innovation in network-level services and guide conceptual development. The planned &#8220;LTER infrastructure&#8221; will enable the research of large ecosystems and socio-ecological systems at the European level.

eLTER- European long-term ecosystem and socio-ecological research infrastructure

Centar za razvoj proizvoda

Centar za Biosisteme

Centar za inovacije i razvoj poslovanja

Cilj projekta: Glavni ciljevi i metode eLTER-a su: (1) utvrđivanje potreba korisnika za istraživačkom infrastrukturom u odnosu na glavne društvene izazove ; (2) pojednostaviti dizajn troškovno efikasne panevropske mreže, u saradnji sa srodnom globalnom i evropskom istraživačkom infrastrukturom, npr. LifeWatch; (3) razviti organizacioni okvir za integraciju podataka i omogućiti virtuelni pristup LTER podacima ; (4) negovanje društvene relevantnosti, upotrebljivosti i višestruka upotreba informacija, podataka i usluga kroz nova partnerstva i usvajanje novih mernih tehnologija.
&nbsp;
O projektu: Potrebni su kolektivni napori da bi se stvorila istraživačka infrastruktura za životnu sredinu kako bi se odgovorilo na goruća pitanja u svetu brzih socijalnih, ekonomskih i ekoloških promena. Opšti cilj projekta eLTER je unapređenje evropske mreže lokacija za dugoročno istraživanje ekosistema i socio-ekoloških istraživačkih platformi, a sve to kako bi se pružile usluge najvišeg kvaliteta. Mreža LTER-Europe i zajednica Evropske kritične zone sarađivaće na postizanju ovih ciljeva. 162 lokacije u 22 zemlje pružaće podatke o dugoročnim trendovima u promenama životne sredine. Test slučajevi koji koriste ove podatke pozabaviće se nizom ekoloških i socijalnih pitanja radi podsticanja inovacija u uslugama na mrežnom nivou i usmeravanja konceptualnog razvoja. Predviđena „LTER infrastruktura“ omogućiće istraživanje velikih ekosistema i socio-ekoloških sistema na evropskom nivou.
