The Midterm Research Programme of the Institute for Limnology 2006-2012 is entitled: “Extent, origin and ecological significance of intraspecific diversity of aquatic micro- and macroorganisms” This theme has the highest priority in all research projects of the Institute. Project list: Adaptation of Active Fisheries Methods: Pair trawling (Apr 2009 - Dec 2012) (Wanzenböck) Cyanobacterial blooms and toxins in water resources: Occurrence, impacts and management. ESSEM COST Action ES1105 (Apr 2012 - Mar 2016). This new COST Action will establish a European network in order to address the issues of cyanobacterial blooms, their toxicity, monitoring, risk assessment, treatment and management and has been approved for involving >30 partners from 24 countries.
