The Ecoinformatics Collaboratory participates in major EU ecoinformatics project

The SEAMLESS project will integrate approaches from economic, environmental and social sciences to assess the impact of policy and behavioral changes and innovations in agriculture and agroforestry.

The Ecoinformatics Collaboratory is the only United States partner of an approximately $19.1 million (15 million Euro) project financed by the European Union that will create an integrated computer toolkit to analyze sustainable agricultural practices. Thirty research institutes from 13 European countries are also involved in the enormous effort, which organizers dub SEAMLESS-IF. The Ecoinformatics Collaboratory's project's page is here. The story has been recently covered in UVM's The view.
