This article is about the importance of recognizing and accepting intercultural differences in the way science is understood and interpreted. By taking individual routines of interpreting science into account, science communication and science management will become more efficient and successful in terms of integrating local communities and non-scientific audiences. We provide examples of how to consider intercultural context while planning field research.

The European Climate Research Alliance is a bottom-up association of European research institutions helping to facilitate the development of climate change research, combining the capacities of national research institutions and inducing closer ties between existing national research initiatives, projects and infrastructures. This article briefly introduces the network's structure and organisation, as well as project management issues and prospects.

Freely and open distributed optical satellite images used to obtain bathymetric data for shallow waters based on timeseries analysis of multispectral Sentinel-2 datasets. The ratio transform algorithm was implemented for twelve monthly images covering a year. Bathymetric maps were generated and compared with LIDAR measurements. The results showed that bathymetry can be obtained from satellite data within a Root Mean Square Error while more accurate results were generated during the summer.
