FP7 - NEXOS project
Programme: FP7-OCEAN-2013
Project Title:
Next generation, Cost-effective, Compact, Multifunctional Web
Enabled Ocean Sensor Systems Empowering Marine, Maritime and Fisheries
Management
Acronym: NeXOS
Duration: 48 months from 01/10/2013 to 30/09/2017
Total Budget : € 8.079.521 (requested Eu contribution € 5.900.720)
Ismar Budget: € 246,538.00 (requested Eu contribution € 179.239)

Summary:
The NeXOS project aims to improve the temporal and spatial coverage, resolution and quality of marine observations through the development of cost-efficient innovative and interoperable in-situ sensors deployable from multiple platforms, and Web Services for key
domains and applications. These new sensors will measure key parameters useful to a number of objectives, ranging from more precise monitoring and modelling of the marine environment to an improved assessment of fisheries. All new sensors will respond to multiplatform integration, sensor and data interoperability, quality assurance and reliability requirements. These new devices will be calibrated, integrated on several types of platforms, scientifically validated and demonstrated.
