The National Environmental Research Institute is part of University of Aarhus. NERI's mission is to provide a sound and informed scientific basis for making environmental decisions at the political, administrative and commercial levels. NERI's mission is to help fulfil the Government's goal of an environmental policy based on knowledge. NERI has responsibility for research, consultancy services, monitoring and information activities within the environment and nature areas. NERI has a wide field of expertise in research on the atmospheric environment, the environment and nature in inland and marine waters, the terrestrial environment and nature, Arctic environments and nature as well as concerning the relationship between society's activities and the state of the environment and nature.
NERI undertakes both applied research, directed at alleviating specific environmental problems, and long-term strategic research. The research activities support NERI's scientific consultancy and monitoring work. NERI undertakes monitoring in order to evaluate the effect of political/administrative measures and to provide an overview of developments in order to facilitate the early identification of environmental problems.

The advice is provided in the form of analyses, reports and replies to inquiries, as well as through the participation of NERI staff in various commissions and committees.
