progetto EUROFLEETS+
Programme: H2020 – Infrastructures initiative
Project title: An alliance of European marine research infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of the research and industrial communities
Acronym: EUROFLEETS+
Duration: 01/02/2019 – 31/01/2023
Total Budget: € 9.999.360
ISMAR budget: € 37.317

Summary:
The EUROFLEETS+ project will facilitate open free of charge access to an integrated and advanced research vessel fleet, designed to meet the evolving and challenging needs of the user community. European and international researchers from academia and industry will be able to apply for several access programmes, through a single-entry system. EUROFLEETS+ will prioritise support for research on sustainable, clean and healthy oceans, linking with existing ocean observation infrastructures, and it will support innovation through working closely with industry. The project will enable access to a unique fleet of 27 state-of-the-art research vessels from European and international partners. Through competitive Calls, researchers will be able to access the entire North Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black Sea, North Sea, Baltic Sea, Pacific Southern Ocean and Ross Sea. In addition to ship time, researchers will also have access to new AUVs and ROVs. A unique portable telepresence system will enable remote access by researchers and diverse end users including the public; a first for Europe.
