MEETING OF THE ITALY-CROATIA ECOSS PROJECT
CNR Research Area Conference Centre in Bologna from 11th to 12th February 2020.
Thursday 06 February 2020
From 11th to 12th February, after one year from its start, the first meeting of the Interreg Italy-Croatia project “ECOSS: Ecological Observing System in the Adriatic Sea: oceanographic observations for biodiversity " will be held at the CNR Research Area Conference Centre in Bologna. During the meeting, participants will discuss about the main results achieved and the next planned activities through specific working groups. ISMAR is leading the project which comprises ten partner institutions from Italy and Croatia, collaborating towards achieving the main goal of the project: the establishment of the ECOlogical observing system in the Adriatic Sea - ECOAdS.
The ECOAdS will be shared between Italy and Croatia, and is foreseen to integrate ecological and oceanographic research and monitoring with Natura 2000 conservation strategies. To achieve this goal, ECOSS will build upon existing facilities, infrastructure and long-term ecological data to create synergy between marine observation capacities and requirements for achieving and maintaining good conservation status of the marine component of the Natura 2000 sites in the Adriatic Sea.
The project started on 1st January 2019 and will be conducted over the following 30 months. The overall value of the project is 3.390.551,05 EUR, of which 85% is financed by the European Union through the CBC Programme Interreg Italy-Croatia.
