Euro-Argo ERIC, a new European research infrastructure for global ocean observations
©Ifremer-O. Dugornay Euro-Argo is the European contribution to the international Argo array of 3,000 profiling floats measuring temperature and salinity from the surface down to 2,000 m throughout the global oceans. This is the first time a European legal entity (European Research Infrastructure Consortium, ERIC) has been established for in-situ observation of the global oceans. This is a major milestone which will optimize, sustain and improve the European contributions to Argo. Euro-Argo was o

New OECD Publication – “Commercialising Public Research: New Trends and Strategies”
A new OECD publication entitled “Commercialising Public Research: New Trends and Strategies” was released this month. The way in which universities and public research institutions engage with business to take science from the lab to the market is rapidly evolving. This OECD publication looks closely at this evolution and provides a comprehensive review of government and institutional level policies aimed at enhancing the transfer, exploitation and commercialisation of public research results.

EU study on the economic value of improved ocean data
A new study has highlighted how better access to interoperable marine data can support growth in the blue economy by stimulating innovation and reducing uncertainty in knowledge of the sea’s behaviour. A brief summary showing how it could contribute to better design of aquaculture cages, management of coastal erosion, protection of subsea cables and navigational safety is also available. For more information see: Study Summary
Preparatory workshop for EUROFLEETS2 Regional Calls – WORKSHOP HAS BEEN POSTPONED
