25 Years SETAC GLB and 30 Years of GDCh
This series provides a compact overview of the current state of ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry in German-speaking countries, as well as the main developments and topics of the SETAC-German Language Branch and the GDCh FG UC/ÖKOTOX. The special volume will also be presented to politicians and ministries, the DFG and research funding organizations in order to showcase the successes of the two specialist societies.
Assessment of the 2021 extreme Summer Flood in Central Europe
The aim of the series was to provide an overview of the current state of integrated investigations on the effects of the severe flood events in Summer 2021 in Central Europe.
Introducing the EU project ZeroPM: Zero pollution of persistent and mobile substances
The aim of the series is to provide an overview of the activities that are planned in the H2020 EU project ZeroPM. The collection will introduce the background to the problem of persistent and mobile substances in the environment as well as showing how ZeroPM will work towards solutions.
Advanced computational methodologies for environmental modeling and sustainable water management
This special issue is related to the sustainable management of water resources and the environment.
Policy Briefs of the EU Project SOLUTIONS
Read the latest published collection in Environmental Sciences Europe. The policy briefs in this collection are a direct outcome of the EU project “SOLUTIONS for present and future emerging pollutants in land and water resources management (Grant agreement no. 603437)”. They translate emerging research on European water resource management into actionable information that is useful for decision making and water quality protection.

Environmental Sciences Europe News
Aims and scope
ESEU is an international journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences, including the main topic regulation.
ESEU will discuss the entanglement between environmental sciences and regulation because, in recent years, there have been misunderstandings and even disagreement between stakeholders in these two areas. ESEU will help to improve the comprehension of issues between environmental sciences and regulation.
ESEU will be an outlet from the German-speaking (DACH) countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the DACH countries regarding environmental sciences and regulation.
Moreover, ESEU will facilitate the exchange of ideas and interaction between Europe and the DACH countries regarding environmental regulatory issues.
Although Europe is at the center of ESEU, the journal will not exclude the rest of the world, because regulatory issues pertaining to environmental sciences can be fully seen only from a global perspective.
SETAC GLB Corner
SETAC EUROPE - German-Language Branch e.V. (SETAC GLB) is a regional branch of SETAC Europe, representing the interest of SETAC in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. SETAC GLB provides an open forum in the region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland for scientists and institutions engaged in the study of environmental problems, management and regulation of natural resources, education, research and development, and manufacturing.

A quote from the Editor-in-Chief
"Environmental Sciences Europe (ESEU) is the first SpringerOpen journal in the entire field of Environmental Sciences. ESEU is an international high-quality journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences and regulation as its main topic. The journal aims to bridge the gap between academia, industry and administrative bodies to report on developments in all aspects of Environmental Sciences, including both basic and applied environmental research, as well as regulatory issues.
ESEU has been developed from the journal Umweltwissenschaften und Schadstoff-Forschung (UWSF), which has been the most influential platform for environmental issues in the German-speaking DACH countries (Germany, Austria and the German-speaking part of Switzerland) for more than two decades.
The journal publishes a broad spectrum of scientific and non-scientific contributions, including reviews, research articles, opinion papers, presentations of projects, institutions and curricula, news on policy and legislation, and news on science and technology, as well as articles from its closely connected societies: SETAC Europe (German language branch), the GDCh Division "Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology," and the VGöD (Verband für Geoökologie in Deutschland / Association for Geoecology in Germany."
