Welcome to the home page of the SLIM project.

SLIM is a multi-country research project funded by the European Commission (DG RESEARCH – 5th Framework Programme for research and technological development, 1998–2002). Its main theme is the investigation of the socio-economic aspects of the sustainable use of water. The project ran from February 2001 to May 2004 and involved about 30 researchers from France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.

SLIM stands for Social Learning for the Integrated Management and sustainable use of water at catchment scale. Our research is about how social learning approaches can help progress more integrated management and sustainable use of water at catchment scales.

SLIM research is likely to be of interest to policy-makers and practitioners involved in the management of water and also other natural resources. It is directly relevant to Member States' efforts to implement the European Water Framework Directive.
