PROJECT
MARCO-BOLO (MBO) aims to structure and strengthen European coastal and marine biodiversity observation capabilities, linking them to global efforts to understand and restore ocean health.
Supporting innovation and sustainability through European projects
EMBRC contributes to European and international projects through Horizon Europe, the European Commission's funding programme for research and innovation ; and Interreg, one of the key instruments of the European Union for finding innovative and sustainable solutions to face regional development challenges.
Diverse in scope and country involvement, these projects aim to enhance EMBRC activities, notably strengthen collaboration with similar European organisations ('research infrastructures'), implement good practices for the management of marine living resources, provide high-level research services to support science and boost the blue economy to tackle global societal challenges.
These projects provide an opportunity to develop joint activities as well as to enhance knowledge-sharing in view of optimising scientific research in Europe and beyond.
Current projects
PROJECT
The overall objective of FAIR-EASE is to customize and operate distributed and integrated services for observation and modelling of the Earth system, environment and biodiversity by improving the TRL of their different components implemented in close cooperation with user-communities, the European Open Science Cloud and research infrastructures in their design and sustainable availability.
PROJECT
This project will support the generation of new knowledge and intervention tools to help control epidemic-prone pathogens such as SARS CoV 2.
PROJECT
DOORS aims to harmonise research and provide the infrastructure to better understand the Black Sea, particularly its ecosystem characteristics.
PROJECT
The EU-funded AtlantECO project aims to develop and apply a novel, unifying framework that provides knowledge-based resources for a better understanding and management of the Atlantic Ocean and its ecosystem services. Focus areas include: microbiomes, plastic and the plastisphere, and seascape connectivity.
Completed projects
PROJECT
IMBRSea is a joint master program organised by 10 leading European universities in the field of marine sciences, supported by EMBRC. IMBRSea prepares students for the rapidly evolving demands of the blue bio-economy and research on the sustainable use of marine biological resources.
PROJECT
EBB will facilitate sustainable access to Atlantic marine biodiversity, its associated data, and extractable products for local and international academia and industry users.
PROJECT
EOSC-Life brings together the 13 life science research infrastructures (LS RIs) to create an open collaborative space for digital biology. It is a joint response to the challenge of analysing and reusing the prodigious amounts of data produced by life sciences.
ENVRIPlus: Environmental Research Infrastructures Providing Shared Solutions for Science and Society
PROJECT
ENVRIplus is a Horizon 2020 project bringing together environmental and earth system research infrastructures (RIs), projects and networks together with technical specialist partners to create a more coherent, interdisciplinary and interoperable cluster of environmental RIs across Europe.
PROJECT
EMBRIC strives to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and innovation from marine bio-resources, while promoting new applications derived from marine organisms in fields such as drug discovery, novel foods and food ingredients, aquaculture selective breeding, bioremediation, cosmetics and bioenergy.
PROJECT
CORBEL aimed to establish shared services between the ESFRI Biological and Medical Science Research Infrastructures (BMS RIs) to support enhanced European research. This was achieved through the provision of joint services and coordinated ‘user access’ to a range of advanced technology platforms.
PROJECT
ASSEMBLE Plus is a Horizon 2020-funded project which brings together 32 marine stations and institutes. Coordinated by EMBRC, the project provides research and networking opportunities to scientists in Europe and beyond to enhance marine biology research.
PROJECT
RI-VIS will increase the visibility of European research infrastructures (RIs) to broader scientific communities, industry and strategic partners in third countries.
PROJECT
The ERIC Forum Implementation Project is a Horizon 2020 project which brings together 20 established European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs) and 3 ERICs in preparation to strengthen their coordination and enhance their collaborations. The strategic approach of the ERIC Forum will contribute to address critical challenges and develop best practices.
How to involve EMBRC?
We can be involved in projects in different capacities:
- As a partner (one or more work packages)
For project inquiries, please contact our Project Manager.
- As a provider of research services (short-term needs or long-term support)
Check with our Access Officer which services are available and how they can be incorporated into projects.
