"Towards integrated European marine research strategy and programmes". This overarching marine ERA-NET project works to foster cooperation and integration between national marine Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) to promote the European Research Area for marine science and technology.
“Science and Technology Advancing Governance of Good Environmental Status”. The STAGES project supports the objectives of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) towards achieving a Good Environmental Status (GES) in European marine waters by 2020. The project works to bridge the marine science-policy gap and improve the current scientific knowledge base to allow Member States to achieve GES.
