EuroGO-SHIP The Horizon Europe “EuroGO-SHIP: Developing A Research Infrastructure Concept To Support European Hydrography” project (December 2022 – November 2025) proposes a programme to address new requirements within the context of the European Research Infrastructure (RI) landscape. Observations from ships, and in particular water column measurements, remain the backbone of much

EU4Ocean The EU4Ocean Coalition (December 2022 – November 2025) 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

The Horizon Europe eDNAqua-Plan project (A Plan towards an eDNA reference library and data repository for Aquatic Organisms, navigating Europe towards the next generation biodiversity monitoring) (January 2023 – December 2025) is led by an interdisciplinary consortium comprising 18 partner institutions from 11 countries, and one international (UN) institute, with complementary expertise in marine and freshwater monitoring, eDNA analysis as well as data science. The consortium cooperates with the large EU research projects and infrastructure such as EMODnet, BIOSCAN-Europe, the Ocean and Water knowledge system, LifeWatch, and international systems (ELIXIR/EBI and OBIS), amongst others, to maximise synergies and interoperability internationally. Possible implementation will be demonstrated by use cases from national and transnational water monitoring programs.

COLUMBUS The overarching objective of Horizon2020 COLUMBUS (Monitoring, Managing & Transferring Marine and Maritime Knowledge for Sustainable Blue Growth; March 2015 – February 2018) project was to capitalise on the EC’s significant marine and maritime research by ensuring accessibility and uptake of research Knowledge Outputs by end-users (policy, industry, science and wider society)

INMARE (Industrial Applications of Marine Enzymes) The European Horizon 2020 Project INMARE (Industrial Applications of Marine Enzymes; April 2015 – March 2019) is focused on the development of innovative screening and expression platforms to discover and use the functional protein diversity from the sea. In this project, Seascape coordinates the work on communication and

AtlantOS The overarching objective of Horizon2020 project AtlantOS (April 2015 – September 2019) was to achieve a transition from a loosely coordinated set of existing ocean observing activities to a sustainable, efficient, and fit-for-purpose Integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing System (IAOOS), by defining requirements and systems design, improving the readiness of observing networks

A Trans-Atlantic assessment and deep-water ecosystem-based spatial management plan for Europe (ATLAS) The European Horizon 2020 Project ATLAS (May 2016 – October 2020) will gather diverse new information on sensitive Atlantic ecosystems, including Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and Ecologically or Biologically Sensitive Areas (EBSAs), to produce a step-change in our understanding of their

Seas, Oceans & Public Health in Europe (SOPHIE) This European Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action (CSA) brings marine and environmental scientists together with medical and social scientists, public health and other experts to foster interdisciplinary research on the interconnections between Oceans had Human Health in Europe. The project is

Economic impact of Maritime Spatial Planning The objective of the contract (September 2018 – Febuary 2020) was to conduct a study on the economic impacts of maritime spatial planning (MSP), assessing its role in the blue economy. The study evaluated how MSP benefits specific blue economy sectors, feeding results and

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
