EUropean ROe DEER is an open, bottom-up scientific network based on knowledge and data sharing to investigate the spatial ecology of European deer in their different habitats and management regimes
EURODEER is part of EUROMAMMALS, an umbrella project that coordinates the different species-specific EURO* projects. It promotes inter-species projects and connects with other projects for larger collaborative science initiatives.
Since 2012, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH is the official sponsor for EURODEER. Vectronic supports activities and spatial database development and maintenance, showing to strongly believe in the potential of animal-borne information for science.
