EMODnet


The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is a network of European organisations working together to observe the oceans, to make the collected marine data freely available and interoperable, to create seamless data layers across sea-basins and to distribute the data and data products through the Internet. The primary aim of EMODnet is to unlock existing but fragmented and hidden marine data and make them accessible for a wide range of users including private bodies, public authorities and researchers.

The European Atlas of the Seas


The European Atlas of the Seas is the official digital mapping tool of the European Commission's Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) dedicated to ocean literacy. It is an easily accessible, interactive and user-friendly tool, available in the 24 European Union languages, that can be used by schools, aquariums, museums, policy-makers, blue economy professionals, media and citizens. Since September 2017, Seascape Belgium has taken over the management and further development of the Atlas from the Joint Research Centre (JRC).

NESBp


This project NESBp (Northern European Sea Basins project) (November 2024 - May 2027) is a part of the Greater North Sea Basin Initiative (GNSBI) and focuses on promoting international and comprehensive cooperation in the maritime spatial planning of the North Sea and Baltic Sea basins. Furthermore, the NESBp aims to strengthen collaboration not only between the North Sea countries but also between the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions through the HELCOM-VASAB framework.

TRICUSO


The ocean is key in the global C cycle, taking up ca. 25% of the CO2 we emit, slowing climate change and giving us more time to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Ocean C Value Chain (VC) of observations, data QC & analysis delivers key information around this to decision makers such as the Conference of the Parties. The RIs play a pivotal role in the VC via their ability to operate at scale & pool resources to ensure common data standards and operational practices.

AQUAPHOENIX


Through international R&I collaboration, the Horizon Europe project AQUAPHOENIX (Innovative solutions to reduce AQUAculture emissions and valorise sludge through PHOsphorus and NItrogen eXtraction) (January 2025 - December 2028) aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative solution that successfully captures waste to limit nitrogen (N) + phosphorus (P) emissions from the Aquaculture sector and valorise that waste into new and sustainable energy, agriculture, and aquaculture products.

EU4Ocean


The EU4Ocean Coalition connects diverse organisations, projects and people that contribute to Ocean Literacy and the sustainable management of the ocean. Supported by the European Commission, this bottom-up inclusive initiative aims at uniting the voices of Europeans to make the ocean a concern of everyone. The coalition is made up of three components: the EU4Ocean Platform for organisations and individuals, the Youth4Ocean Forum for young people aged 16 to 30 years old  and the Network of European Blue Schools.

Blue-Cloud


Blue-Cloud is a European H2020 project with the overarching aim of federating and piloting innovative services for Marine Research & the Blue Economy as a core contribution to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). EOSC aims to provide a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines.

iAtlantic


The European Horizon 2020 Project iAtlantic (June 2019 - November 2023) takes an interdisciplinary scientific approach to collect Atlantic deep and open-ocean ecosystem data and integrate it with ocean circulation and connectivity models linked with climatic data and forecasts. By bridging ocean observing systems, exchanging data, researchers, and equipment from across the entire Atlantic, the project aims to predict where and when potentially synergistic effects of global change and multiple ecosystem stressors will occur.

AtlantEco


The ambition of the Horizon 2020 “AtlantECO” project (September 2020 - August 2024) is to develop and apply a novel, unifying framework for providing knowledge-based resources to design policies, support decision making and engage with citizens to encourage responsible behaviour to manage the Atlantic system and protect its provision of Ecosystem Services.

Mission Atlantic


Horizon 2020 Mission Atlantic (September 2020 - August 2026) is an EU-funded project that will map and assess the present and future status of Atlantic marine ecosystems under the influence of climate change and exploitation. Sustainably managing ocean resources is linked to our ability to assess and predict drivers of change, and the subsequent impact on marine ecosystems. These are extremely variable, subject to large uncertainties, with complex interconnectivities.
