We are a scientific partnership
The Water-ForCE consortium gathers together an intersectoral and multidisciplinary team of 20 partners coming from universities, research institutes, SMEs and industry participants from 11 European countries
Each working package gathers an international working group that will analyse the current and future Copernicus services from their specific perspective
