Wat Nu - Demographic Change in the Wadden Sea Region
The main goal of the project is to develop and initiate approaches dealing with demographic change in the participating municipalities.

Enhance - Enhancing risk management partnerships for catastrophic natural hazards in Europe
ENHANCE aims at developing and analysing new ways to enhance society’s resilience to catastrophic natural hazard impacts. For this, the project developed new multisector partnerships (MSPs) between public and private sectors, with an important role for the financial sector (e.g. insurers). The hazards were related to heat waves, forest fires, flood, drought, storm surge, and volcanic eruptions. Through close engagement of stake holders and policy organisations, ENHANCE developed MSPs in 10 case studies for managing risk from natural hazards.
