2. “Development of a Procedural Framework for Action Plans to Reconcile Conflicts Between the Conservation of Large Vertebrates and the Use of Biological Resources: Fisheries and Fish-eating Vertebrates as a Model Case” (FRAP, EU funded) – interdisciplinary European research project, including conflicts between seals and fishery in Sweden and Finland

3. “Welfare Quality” (WQ, EU funded) – interdisciplinary European research project about welfare of farm animals, including the cattle, pig and poultry sectors

4. “Multifunctional Agriculture” (Multiagri, EU funded) – overview and synthesis on the multifunctionality of agriculture and rural areas in 15 European countries

5. “Rural Sustainable Development in the Knowledge Society” (CORASON, EU funded) – cross-national sociological research project about the conditions for rural sustainable development in twelve European countries
