  • In May 2003, WWF Austria started to look for partners for a project about natural rivers.
  • The first meeting of the future partners took place in Innsbruck in September 2003. Afterwards the partners submitted the pre-proposal for the Minerva project “Free Your River” to the European Union.
  • In January 2004, the partnership was invited to submit the full proposal by March 1st.
  • On July 15th, the Commission confirmed the approval of the Free Your River project proposal.
  • In November 2004, the work for the project started with the kick off meeting in Innsbruck. Since then, all partners worked on the Website and its content.
