Project manager from CENS: Dr. Shushanik Asmaryan
Project Consortium:
- Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Department Lake Research, Magdeburg, Germany
- Scientific Centre of Zoology and Hydroecology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, Institute of Hydroecology and Ichthyology, Armenia
- Center for Ecological-Noosphere Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, Yerevan, Armenia
- Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center state non-commercial organization of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Armenia (HMC), Yerevan, Armenia

The main goals of the project are:
- Nutrient budget for Lake Sevan and nutrient management concept
- Coupled physical‐ecological 1D eutrophication model for Lake Sevan (nutrients, plankton, oxygen)
- Use of satellite‐based remote sensing for estimation of water quality of Lake Sevan
- Evaluation of alternative management scenarios and identification of major water quality threats for Lake Sevan including the preparation of a policy brief
- Capacity Building in Armenia for use of satellite remote sensing and lake modelling
