Overarching Marine ERA-Net SEAS-ERA “Towards integrated European marine research strategy and programmes”
Call targeted objectives • Fostering cooperation/integration betweenmarine research funding agencies, thereby developing a stable European overarching operational structure for marine research. • Developing and implementing common research strategies and programmes related to the European sea basins and common strategies and programmes for European coherence in developing and implementing globally important marine research. • Building up a coherent vision of the planning and use of research infrastructures, in line with the actions undertaken within the Capacity Programme (ESFRI opportunity list).
Guidingideas • “A EuropeanStrategyfor Marine and MaritimeResearch” • The EU future maritime policy is designed to achieve the full economic potential of oceans and seas in harmony with the marine environment. • The EC claims for a new approach in terms of joint marine and maritime research efforts pursuing “excellence in research” as the basis to support a thriving and growing economy. • There is a need for a concerted definition of R&D needs and priorities, to maximize the economic and environmental outputs. • Research, at the end, should provide sound knowledge to support policy decisions.
EU R&D weaknesses • Limited collaboration between national programmes • Fragmentation and duplication of research efforts • Deficient interdisciplinary approaches/joint approach marine-maritime • Imbalances in research and technological capacities among regions • Need for a joint and efficient policy on infrastructures
SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Improve co-operation and co-ordination and promote harmonisation of national/regional research programmes to strengthen them, bridging possible gaps and avoiding duplications; this will significantly contribute to the setting up of a European Marine and Maritime Research Agenda.
SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Foster synergies at national and regional level, mobilising competitive and non-competitive funds for research in a more coordinated way, through joint calls and common programs, so as to reach a critical mass to address major cross-thematic marine and maritime research challenges. • Research funding organizations (RFOs) and research performing organizations (RPOs) have to be involved in this mission.
SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Propose a plan for a better and sustainable use of the existing Marine Research Infrastructures, developing a common vision, e.g. a strategy for marine infrastructure research among the Member States and other countries, fostering technological development to improve MRIs quality and service, developing a cooperation framework, and developing a methodology for the use of industry infrastructures by public research.
SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Reduce imbalances among regions through human capacity building. To this end, the project will devote special attention to set-up a pan-European training and mobility strategy for human resources for the development of ocean-related activities.
SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Enhance public awareness towards marine and maritime scientific and policy issues in Europe. SEAS-ERA will have a strong commitment to translate the RTD activities into social, economic and cultural benefits. SEAS-ERA will emphasise the role of science in marine and maritime policy.Overall, this will form a core element of the dissemination strategy.
Project structure Communication strategy
Communicationstrategy • The SEAS_ERA project envisages two differentiated areas of exchange of information: • The exchange of information among partners and related projects and organizations. • The public dissemination of information on marine/maritime R&D issues and project results
