WETSET is a comprehensive European data index designed to centralize information on wetland datasets from European, national, and regional databases. It aims to streamline research and assessment efforts by providing a central platform for accessing diverse wetland data.

The main purpose of WETSET is to address the challenges researchers, conservationists, and managers face in efficiently locating and utilizing necessary data for wetland research projects, which often come from various sources with different structures, formats, languages, standards, and access protocols. Ultimately, WETSET aims to foster informed decision-making and contribute to the sustainable future of European wetlands.

WETSET is openly accessible. Anyone can list available datasets.

The platform contains a total of 242 datasets related to wetlands, peatlands, and floodplains, as well as other non-wetland-specific datasets relevant for wetlands research activities (e.g., Copernicus Land Monitoring Service). The datasets are from various sources, including international, European, national, and regional databases.
