  1. MarinERA Co-ordination of National and Regional Marine RTD Activities in Europe ERA-NET project Start date of project: 1 November 2004

  2. Objectives: in relation to the marine element of the European Research Area (ERA) • Map European RTD programmes and infrastructures • Facilitate the networking of Marine RTD Funding Agencies • Contribute to the development of a European Marine Research Policy • Provide a basis for sharing available resources • Progress the reciprocal opening of member states Marine RTD Programmes

  3. Background initiative: ESF Marine Board position paper: Integrating Marine Science in Europe Recommendations • The need to improve the use of existing research instruments at national and European level • The need to improve co-ordination of research infrastructure

  4. Establishment of a CONSORTIUM of 15 core partners from 13 EU countries and the ESF-MB IFREMER: overall coordinator 5 Work Packages • Of relevance to ship operators: • WP- 1: Information exchange - 1.3 Mapping Marine RTD infrastructure Facilities - lead Ireland • WP-2: Strategic activities - 2.4 Marine RTD infrastructure strategies - lead Spain • WP-3: Joint activities - 3.3 Facilitating common access to existing marine RTD infrastructure and facilities - lead NL

  5. ORGANISATION Of relevance to RV operators

  6. MIF: Forum of Marine Infrastructure Managers Individuals responsible for marine infrastructure management within each of the associated countries will be invited to convene within the MIF. They will be supported to network their priorities and requirements, and will be encouraged, where appropriate, to develop initiatives. Creation of MIF underway First meeting scheduled April 2005

  7. OFWG (Ocean research Fleets Working Group) Objectives • Description of existing fleets (over 35 m) and their management • Propositions for an enhanced European ocean fleet and its management •  How to use the fleet more efficiently •  How to establish a common long-term investment strategy

  8. OFWG Meetings: September 2003, January 2004, June 2004 Liase with EFARO (European Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Organisation) of the European Union Draft report planned for October 2004 Next meeting 3 December 2004 More information: www.esf.org/marineboard

  9. OFWG Participants homework A1 Describe existing fleet (Update Von Spee report) A2 Describe existing large instruments A3 Describe management process A4 Describe existing partnerships B1 Propose enhanced means of using the European fleet B2 Propose approaches to long term investment strategies

  16. Research Vessels over 30m in Europe: total 48 22 Margins 30-60m 26 Deep blue > 60m Including a number of RVs for ICES stock assessment

  17. Research Vessels within UNOLS Total 28 plus 3 USCG Icebreakers 15 Margins 30-60m 11 Deep blue > 60m Including 3 USCG Ice breakers and NOAA Ron Brown

  18. Problems to solve: Concern within European Governments about the size of the European RV fleet USA as an example: but then solely UNOLS Fleet: 28 versus 109? What is needed: A balanced, more representative comparison between the RV fleets, and an objective statement on required ship-time capacity

  19. THE END
