This COST Action would support the LifeWatch framework and build on EU FP6 and FP7 programmes including projects such as EPIDEMIE, DAISIE, PRATIQUE, IMPASSE, VECTORS, ALARM, CHAOS, EnviroGRIDS, ISEFOR and BioFresh,  integrating with the NOBANIS, NEOBIOTA, ESENIAS, ERNAIS, the Baltic Sea Alien Species Database and other networks. It will also enable interoperability of these European information systems with global tools such as the Invasive Species Compendium (ISC) and the Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) of the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group and the IUCN Red List.  Moreover, relevant EU directives and agreements, such as Charter on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity in European Islands will assist in prioritization.
