CSA Oceans: General objective

CSA Oceans aims to reduce the time for the Joint Programming Initiative on Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans (JPI Oceans) to move to the operational phase by:

- Supporting the governance structures in its work to establish JPI - Supporting the governance structures in its work to establish JPI Oceans;

- Proposing procedures and tools for cooperation

- Facilitating the development of a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda

Infra-

structure

1) Foster enabling cross-cutting marine

technologies across the maritime sectors

2) Foster the marine bio economy in relation

to new products, services and jobs

3) Create the best enabling environment to

maximize the development of marine

renewable energies

• CSA partners• MB/MCountries• StAB

renewable energies

4) Develop the necessary knowledge and

technologies to conquer the new deep-sea

frontier

5) Understand and mitigate the impact of

climate change and pressure from human

activities on the marine environment, to

reach GES (Good Environmental Status) of

our seas by 2020

WP6 “Mapping and gap analysis of ocean observation, research

infrastructures, capacity building”:

draft optional solutions to overcome some of the major gaps & needs related to MRI, observations/data collection, human resources and capacity building- Identify Infrastructures that requires concerted efforts and - Identify Infrastructures that requires concerted efforts and commitment of member states- Analyze technological and other barriers for maintaining, developing and sustaining a long-term EU oceans observing system- Analyze gaps and overlaps in data collection and obstacles for accessing to data and infrastructures at large for public and private purposes- Develop a human capacity building scenario for marine and maritime activities, including initiatives and unbalances among the regions

Identifying gaps and needs: building on existing knowledge

� Many EU projects aiming at developing new MRI, coordinating existing MRI and data management at EU level were launched in 2007-2013: ASSEMBLE, EMBRC, EUROFLEETS, MESOAQUA, AQUAEXCEL, MARINET, EURO-ARGO, EMSO, SEADATANET, JERICO, EuroSites, MyOcean, EMODNET, etc….

� SEASERA: updated overview of MRI to foster a coherent articulation, consistent scientific coverage in order to plan their evolution and long term stabilisation.stabilisation.

� MRI Expert Group (European Commission): analyse the gaps and needs at European level in the field of marine research infrastructures for ocean observation

> CSA OCEANS WP6 will follow up on what has been done by SEASERA and other projects or expert group in order to identify specific needs and gaps that require concerted efforts and commitment of member states.

WP3 “Mapping and analysis of scientific needs, gaps and overlaps”

(leaded by MINECO) :

Main aim: to identify gaps and needs that must be addressed to tackle the grand challenges related to our seas and oceans to achieve the objectives of JPI Oceans to feed the SRIA.

•Update and complete the current mapping on marine research •Update and complete the current mapping on marine research funds, programmes and strategies (bulding on ERANETs)•Develop a repository of relevant research organisations, platforms and projects to provide a basis to asses the current landscape at EU and national level.•Conduct an analysis of marine research needs and gaps and define priorities to support the furtherdevelopment and implementation of the JPI Oceans – long term sustained mapping.
