Two projects related to GMES have been launched in the context of the CEEX (Excellency Research) National R&D programme:

• LUCIUS: main objective of the project is to exploit experience acquired by consortium members and build a network providing the scientific and technological regional support for the development of GMES applications through institutional development and capacity building in geospatial data (space and in-situ) acquisition, processing and management
• INSPAM: main objective of the project is to initiate and develop an interoperable framework able to contribute to establishing a national spatial data infrastructure following the European initiatives in this domain (GMES, INSPIRE, ORCHESTRA etc.)

Romania's Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development (MMDD) will finalize the implementation of two Danube Delta projects:

• A joint management project for conservation of biodiversity at the border between Romania and the Republic of Moldova
• An integrated system for the monitoring of the environment, biodiversity and natural resources from the Romania-Ukraine Danube Delta Cross-Border Biosphere Reserve

The Institute of Geography of the Romanian Academy participates in the NETWET 2 project (Networking Perspectives of Transnational Co-operation and Participatory Planning for Integrated Water Resources Management through the promotion of new forms of Spatial Governance).

• European Environmental Agency (EEA)
• European Environmental Bureau (EEB)
• European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC)
• European Sea Level Service (ESEAS)
