The Infrastructure Network HYDRALAB started in 1997 as a Concerted Action (1997-2000) and continued as a network HYDRALAB-II (2000-2004). Both focus on the hydraulics, geophysical fluid dynamics, ship dynamics and ice engineering facilities and were supported by the European Commission in FP4 and FP5 respectively. After March 2004 HYDRALAB continued as an Infrastructure Network at the own cost of the participating partners. HYDROLAB+ project involves 24 partners and 9 associated partners form a coherent network of research institutes working to strengthen the coherence of experimental hydraulic research to better address climate change adaptation issues. The HYDRALAB+ project brings together European researchers, industry and stakeholders to improve experimental research, related numeric modelling and field studies aimed at adapting to climate change.
