Fostering cooperation/integration between marine 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).

“A European Strategy for Marine and Maritime Research”

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 weaknessesEU 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

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-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERA

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.

MainMain objectivesobjectives MainMain objectivesobjectives

SEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERA

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.

MainMain objectivesobjectives MainMain objectivesobjectives

SEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERA

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.

MainMain objectivesobjectives MainMain objectivesobjectives

SEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERASEAS-ERA

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.
