SNOWMAN - a network for knowledge on sustanaible soils

The SNOWMAN Network is a transnational group of research funding organizations and administrations in the field of Soil and Groundwater in Europe.

The SNOWMAN network wants to develop and share relevant knowledge for the sustainable use of soil and groundwater. For the development of relevant knowledge we have a research programme that we execute by organizing calls for projects. We share the knowledge developed in these projects and we share the knowledge that is available among the members of the network.

The OVAM is partner in the network, together with the Department of Environment, Nature and Energy.

History

SNOWMAN started as an ERA-Net project under the 6th Framework Program from the EU with a budget for five years (2003 - 2009) and was terminated on June 30th, 2009. The aim of the ERA-NET period was to establish a network of research funders, which was able to execute joint calls for research projects. This aim was achieved by establishment of the SNOWMAN Network.
