EMSO – PP European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observation Preparatory Phase PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project aims to establish a governance structure, funding plan, and operational procedures to build a long-term, multi-regional seafloor observatory network. Key objectives include resolving diverse legal frameworks, harmonizing funding sources, addressing logistical constraints, and tackling technical challenges. The Work-Breakdown Structure includes creating the organization body, finalizing funding agreements, and developing the technical-economic plan. Project timelines and interconnections between work packages are crucial for the successful implementation of the initiative.

  1. EMSO – PP European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observation Preparatory Phase PROJECT OVERVIEW

  2. General Information • Start: 1st April 2008 (4 years) • Duration: 4 years • Coordinator: INGV - Paolo Favali • Project Officer: Anna Maria Johansson (Anna-Maria.JOHANSSON@ec.europa.eu) • Project Costs: € 5.402.221,190 / EC Funding: € 3.900.000

  3. Definition and agreement upon the governance and legal formfor the Core Legal Entity (CLE) and for each Regional Legal Entities (RLE). Design of a funding plan including contributions from national, European, and international funding resources. More specifically, a business plan covering both the investment and the operational expenditures for the first decade of service will be set up. Achievement of a long-term commitment from the involved funding agencies will be obtained through the activation of discussion tables where the largest possible political convergence will be reached and formalised in specific agreement protocols and MoUs. Definition of operational procedures with regard to deployed instrumentation, logistic intervention and maintenance will be defined. Definition of a long-term strategy and choice of sites Establishment of the engineering specifications for each chosen site. Project Objectives

  4. Issues to be solved • The diversity of regional sites in terms of available legal frameworks; • The harmonisation of funding (national, European, international, industrial) with respect to scope, objectives, and timing; • The logistic constraints regarding available resources, and environmental protection; • Possible technical bottle necks for which currently no off-the-shelf solution is available

  8. Project timeline 2/2

  9. WPs Interconnections WPs are dedicated to 2 major groups of activities • Creation of EMSO organisational Body • Design of EMSO technical-economic plan

  10. Creationof EMSO organisation body FUNDING AGENCIES AGREEMENT AND COMMITTMENT TechnicalEconomicPlan EMSO-PP will constitute the roundtable to build consensus among Nations

  11. Regional Legal Entities (RLEs) Ultimate output of organisation body set up Integration of regional infrastructures managing sub-sea observatory sites (RLEs-Regional Legal Entities) all having a single coordination entity (CLE-Core Legal Entity)

  12. Ultimate output of the technical-economic plan: financial engineering Member States European Commission Other Stakeholders (e.g., Industry) Funding through RTD programmes or inclusion in DG-REGIO/DG-DEV strategic plans Funding through national programmes Research Infrastructure EIB Loans Up to 50% of project costs
