AquaticPollutants TransNetViewer

The TransNetViewer, developed under the AquaticPollutants Transfer Project TransNet, is now available and marks a major step forward in making aquatic contaminants research more accessible and actionable. Designed to serve as a bridge between scientists and end-users—such as water utilities, regulators, industry, and solution providers—the tool supports the transfer of knowledge on chemicals of emerging concern (CECs), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and pathogens in the water cycle.

At its core, TransNetViewer synthesizes stakeholder knowledge needs gathered from extensive consultations across the aquatic pollutant community. It allows researchers to understand what different stakeholder groups are really looking for—what types of information, tools, and results are most relevant to their operations and decision-making. This helps shape the way scientific results are framed and communicated, ensuring that research is aligned with real-world demands.

The platform also promotes effective communication strategies by identifying the best channels to reach various audiences and recommending formats tailored to each group’s expectations. Researchers, in turn, can use the insights from TransNetViewer to boost the societal impact and visibility of their work, enhancing collaboration between the science community and water-sector professionals across Europe.

TransNetViewer reflects strong collaboration between the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the French National Research Agency (ANR), and the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development (Formas), under the Horizon 2020 ERA-NET Cofund AquaticPollutants. It stands as a testament to the shared European commitment to tackling pollution through integrated knowledge and joint solutions.
