  • ALARM is an "INTEGRATED PROJECT" under the 6th EU Frameworkprogramme (Fp6)
    (Assessing LArge-scale environmental Risks with tested Methods)
  • ALARM started on 1 February 2004 and has a duration of 60 months
  • The EC contributes 12 000 000 € to this project
    The objectives of ALARM are:
    a) To develop an integrated large scale risk assessment to biodiversity as well as terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems as a part of environmental risk assessment;
    b) To focus on risks consequent on climate change, environmental chemicals, rates and extent of loss of pollinators and biological invasions;
    c) To establish socio-economic risk indicators related to the drivers of biodiversity pressures as a tool to support long-term oriented mitigating policies and to monitor their implementation;
    d) To develop a research network that is consistently thinking, interacting, and investigating on a continental scale across different environmental problems (impacts) and across different spatial and temporal scales of ecosystem diversity changes;
    e) To provide a contribution to objective based politics, to policy integration and to derive outcome-oriented policy measures
    in the field of biodiversity preservation by contributing to the integrated assessment of socio-economic drivers affecting
    biodiversity and integrated, long-term oriented means to mitigate them.
    To achieve the objectives, ALARM will consist of 3 major, methodologically defined work blocks:
  • Application of scientific methods for basic research (RTD activity)
  • Method tests and protocol development for applications (combined RTD/innovation activity)
  • Dissemination of Results and Toolkits (innovation activity)
