What is SKEP?

Lone tree - PolandThe SKEP ERA-NET (Scientific Knowledge for Environmental Protection) is a partnership of 17 government ministries and agencies, from 13 European countries, responsible for funding environmental research. The SKEP network aims to facilitate the improvement of science into policy processes, and to support evidence-led modern regulation.

The objectives include: delivering better value for money for our research; encouraging innovation through more efficient use of research funding; and the improvement of environmental protection capability by setting down foundations for co-ordinating research programmes. We will deliver these aims through 6 work packages in the lifetime of the project from June 2005 to May 2009.
