AquaNIS is a product of the project VECTORS "Vectors of Change in Oceans and Seas Marine Life, Impact on Economic Sectors" funded during the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under Grant Agreement No. [266445].

Currently the team consists of: Sergej Olenin (coordinator), Aleksas Narščius (database manager), Bella Galil, Stephan Gollasch, Agnese Marchini, Dan Minchin, Anna Occhipinti-Ambrogi, Henn Ojaveer, Anastasija Zaiko.

• EU Concerted Action "Testing Monitoring Systems for Risk Assessment of Harmful Introductions by Ships to European Waters" (1997-1999)
• EU FP6 Integrated Project ALARM "Assessing Large-scale environmental risks with tested methods" (2004-2009)
• EU FP6 project DAISIE "Delivering Alien Species Inventory for Europe" (2005-2008)
• EU FP6 project IMPASSE "Environmental impacts of invasive alien species in aquaculture" (2006-2008)
• EU FP7 project MEECE "Marine Ecosystem Evolution in a Changing Environment" (2008-2012)
• European Census of Marine Life (2009-2010)
• Baltic Sea Alien Species Database (1997-2012)
• ICES WGITMO
• ICES WGB WGBOSV

• Lithuanian State Science and Studies Foundation project BINLIT "Biological invasions in Lithuanian ecosystems under the climate change: causes impacts and projections" (2008-2010)
• "Allochthonous Species Group" of the Italian Society of Marine Biology (SIBM)
