Project acronym: MARINE
Name of the project: Maritime Incident Research and Innovation Network
Focus on systems based on
- autonomous (air, surface, underwater) vehicles
- networked devices
- remote sensing
- bioremediation
The MARINE project aims at creating and fostering a Network of Excellence to promote the development and the transfer of knowledge and innovation in the field of maritime incidents within the context of maritime security and of protection of marine habitats.
This involves the setting up of a network of expert bodies in research and development of innovative activities as well as the establishment of links with users and technology transfer organisations.
The strategic objectives of the MARINE network are to:
1. Develop a model of organization excellence based on a network structure.
2. Stimulate the development and the creation of competitive economic activities.
3. Lead the development of new technologies, techniques, high added-value products and services addressed to the identified application fields.
4. Identify regional and industry strengths and weaknesses and promote solutions for the relevant social, technological and commercial challenges in the field of maritime incidents.
5. Contribute to the internationalization of the network as well as of the involved entities, profiting from the high international demand concerning the application domain.
6. Build a sustainable network for Research and Innovation in Maritime Incidents.
Contribute
Contribute to maritime safety and to marine habitats protection by creating and fostering an Atlantic Area Maritime Research and Innovation Network to promote advanced technologies, the transfer of knowledge among partners of the project, and the trans-national cooperation and networking.
The results will encompass the following four dimensions:
- Societal awareness.
- Methodologies with emphasis on advanced technologies to address maritime incident problems.
- Pilot projects to demonstrate new concepts with small scale infra-structures.
- Creation of value in the context of the network and of society at large.
