Science & Impact

AnaEE-ERIC delivers transformative impact by bridging the gap between ecosystem research and real-world solutions for climate change, food security, and biodiversity loss. By providing scientists across Europe with access to cutting-edge experimental facilities—from controlled environment chambers to landscape-scale field platforms—the infrastructure enables coordinated experiments that would be impossible at any single location.

This collaborative approach generates continental-scale insights into how ecosystems respond to environmental pressures, directly informing policy decisions under the European Green Deal and UN Sustainable Development Goals. AnaEE-ERIC’s research supports evidence-based regulations for sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation strategies, and ecosystem restoration, while its integration of experimentation and modelling allows policymakers to test interventions before implementation.

Beyond scientific advances, AnaEE-ERIC creates lasting impact through capacity building, training the next generation of ecosystem scientists, and fostering partnerships between researchers, land managers, and policymakers. By translating experimental findings into practical management solutions, AnaEE-ERIC ensures that European environmental policy is grounded in robust science, accelerating the transition toward a sustainable, resilient future.
