Mermaid is a European network formed to train promising young researchers to describe and control the microbial communities central to the treatment of residual water and the production and distribution of drinking water.

Mermaid is funded by the Marie Curie initiatives of the European Commission.
The network was launched September 1st, 2013.

Partners-

The project is coordinated at the Technical University of Denmark and has full partners located in Belgium, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Sweden.

The private sector is significantly represented in the Network.
