It’s here. The first full version of the Oppla platform has now been launched.

New features

Browse the Oppla Marketplace: a ‘knowledge supermarket’ where you can obtain guidance, software, data and other useful resources - as well as promote the outputs of your own project or network.

Find your match in the Community Directory : an easy-to-use system for networking with other members of the Oppla community.

Learn from others via a case study finder where you can learn about practical examples from around the world.

View Nature-based Solutions case studies compiled by DG Research and Innovation at the European Commission.

Visit Oppla at the Ecosystem Services Conference

If you are attending the Ecosystem Services Conference in Antwerp this week then come and say hello! We are hosting ‘Oppla Street’ as part of the Networking Fair taking place today between 11:00 - 17:00 in D Building.

Meet some of the people behind Oppla and take part in our free prize draw - the winner of which will be announced as part of the Oppla official launch at 15:30.

This is just the start

This is Oppla beta 1.0: meaning that it is the very first version of the full platform. Everything is still in development, so you might encounter some occasional ‘bugs’ in our (eco)system. If so, please tell us about them! We are already planning another major update by the end of this year and would love to hear your feedback so that we can make improvements.

Finally, a big THANK YOU…

Oppla is a team effort and we are indebted to the people who have supported us on this journey. Over 60 universities, research institutes, agencies and enterprises have been involved in the development, funded by the European Commission and supported by members of our growing community.

We have been helped by too many people to list everyone individually. You know who you are. And we couldn’t have got this far without your enthusiasm, wisdom, friendship and good humour. Thank you!
