The Wadden Academy is a compact organisation. Its major aims are to identify gaps in our knowledge of the Wadden Sea Region, to programme research and to disseminate the outcome. The research areas are: geoscience, ecology, society and cultural history, social and spatial economics, urban and rural planning and climate and water.
The Wadden Academy is financed by the Wadden Fund. The Wadden Academy specifically aims to achieve the fourth objective of the Wadden Fund: to develop a sustainable knowledge structure for the Wadden Sea Region.
The Board of the Wadden Academy consists of five part-time members. They are supported by an agency that is located in the House of the Wadden in Leeuwarden. The Wadden Academy regularly reports to an Advisory Committee.
It is the ambition of the Wadden Academy to develop the Wadden Sea Region into an incubator for widely applicable integrated knowledge of sustainable development of a coastal area, in which natural values are a key element and form the foundations of the local and regional economy. The region is a meeting place for scientists from the Netherlands and elsewhere, administrators, policy makers and management agencies. Together, they develop sustainable and innovative solutions based on interdisciplinary knowledge. By 2020, the trilateral Wadden Sea Region will be the best monitored and best understood coastal system in the world.
