EUROFLEETS achievements and recommendations for policymakers
For the foreseeable future, research vessels will be the primary infrastracture of oceanographic observation, through direct observation and via autonomous vehicles. Research vessels across Europe, and internationally, provide support for complex, multidisciplinary, multi-investigator research, and include state of the art technology and instruments to serve research and innovation needs for a large number of different end user communities. Built on the achievements of the EUROFLEETS projects, t
