NEXUSNET will deliver examples of nexus compliant policies, decision making, and recommendations to best achieve them, to come-up with an overview of Good Nexus Practices in Europe (policy coherence, Nexus-compliant practices and more coherent nexus evaluations). Trans-disciplinary approaches are adopted to test Nexus compliant practices with the involvement of relevant stakeholders, while interaction and engagement with current and finished Nexus-related projects will be pursued. Academic Nexus knowledge will be translated into practical and applicable knowledge for the private sector or policy makers. A series of intense knowledge transfer and dissemination actions are planned to ensure that the network will have a significant impact in Europe and beyond. Nexus: The nexus approach has been extensively adopted at both academic and policy level due to the complex and no-linear interlinkages among multiple components that affect sustainable management of the available resources. Its systemic base highlights the need to deepen into interdependencies and interconnections, synergies and trade-offs in order to explore causalities and impacts that changes in one component may induce to the rest. Therefore, it is obvious that integrated modelling, trans-disciplinary decision making and systematic analysis of the nexus that takes into account bio-physical and socio-economic considerations, supports the multifaceted investigation of existing problems and the exploration of effective solutions.
