The aims of the project are to develop a decision-making support tool – DeWOS; and to establish a
permanent users network using a spin-off company, which will enable international cooperation and implementation
of the software. DeWOS will encompass all existing relevant data on factors affecting
wellbeing: environmental (water, air, soil, food quality and quantity), social-demographic (education,
prosperity, migration, tourism and mobility, health services, safety) and economic factors (employment,
industry, agriculture). The tool will provide a reliable valuation of the degree of wellbeing in the Danube
River Basin enabling policy makers (from the municipality to the national level) and other stakeholders
to assess the current wellbeing situation and simulate possible scenarios along with the feasibility and
impacts of possible interventions.
