INCAM is the first Lebanon-led FP7 project, designed to strengthen the capabilities and consolidate the role of the National Council for Scientific
Research in Beirut as the leading institution for sustainable development in the Mediterranean region.

approach that assess the anthropological impacts on natural resources towards transforming the CNRS into a regional center of excellence dealing with soil, water, biodiversity, and coastal zone management monitoring, testing, and research to overcome the environmental threats to Lebanon and the rest of the
Mediterranean region. INCAM project succeeded to increase Lebanon’s capacity in important environmental concerns, defined gaps and needs towards setting priorities and
strengthening capacities in collaboration with EU-ENP countries.
