Summary
BEYOND will train the next generation of water professionals who will deliver scientific and technological innovation across
disciplines, institutions and countries needed to solve European water quality problems in an era of global change. In the last decade, some
improvement in understanding of water pollution has been achieved but there are still significant knowledge gaps, especially in the
context of climate change and emerging contaminants, coupled with a lack of systems approach and operational tools required by
water management. To address water quality pressures, we need to better target heterogeneity in the land-water continuum,
accounting for recipient-specific sensitivity to pollution pressures and the spatial and temporal variation in sources, pathways, and
impacts on stream ecology and ecosystem services, now and under future climatic conditions. BEYOND will equip Researchers with
critical technical and communication skills needed to provide evidence-based management of landscapes and river networks under
current and future conditions. They will gain expertise in interdisciplinary catchment science, novel high-resolution water quality
sensors and models, gain access to cutting-edge water quality instrumentation in experimental catchments in Europe and through
secondments to SMEs, and skills in citizen science. BEYOND Researchers will become leaders in innovation and knowledge exchange
needed to achieve water quality improvements, through effective interactions with public and private stakeholders during
secondments and short visits.
