Work progress task 1.2: Brochure and "Gliderport booklet" • Extensive distribution of the brochure by the coordinator (OI'14, ICRI, …) + pencils + T-shirts • And by the partners (!) • STRONG REMINDER to all to continue • Be reactive to Daniel and Jelto's solicitations for the booklet
Work progress task 1.2: OI'14 • 9m2 Booth. Animation by UEA, SAMS, UPMC/CNRS, … • 2 (nice) GROOM videos displayed. Can be downloaded from GROOM website for further use • More than 150 GROOM contacts with tracking. Several contacts with students and young people • Participation to 2 OI'14 workshops with Oil&Gas stakeholders
GROOM main achievements • Description of the present infrastructure (hardware, personnel, running costs,…) • Survey on possible sensors to implement on gliders for Research, Ocean Observation & Management • New infrastructure components developed and tested (operations, calibration, visualization, risk analysis, mission planning piloting,…) • Definition of the desired levels of European integration
GROOM main achievements • Outreach (Web sites, training, young audience) • International coordination (USA, AUS, EU and others) • Setup an international community of (best) practice • A first common data format was issued in the 3 main poles of glider activity (EU, USA and AUS). • Gliders as a component of the GOOS such as the Argo profiling floats, the OceanSites moorings…
GROOM main achievements • Gliders will certainly be included in the next ESFRI roadmap • Numerous scientific papers and communications related to GROOM • STRONG REMINDER: Fill "Dissemination activities" page on Vitamib Not finished yet (3 months extension) • Organize the internal and external review of last deliverables now. • Final Scientific Report before 28/02/2015
The next steps for gliders… • Continue GROOM participation to next ESFRI roadmap 2016 EU calls • Concretize relation between EGO/GROOM and EuroGOOS • BRIDGES Technological proposal for a deep glider submitted to BG6/H2020 led by GROOM • AtlantOS proposal submitted to BG6/H2020. Glider task led by CNRS • JERICO-Next proposal submitted to INFRAIA/H2020. TNA for gliders and technological task on sensors • ENVRI+ proposal submitted to INFRADEV/H2020. Small contribution of GROOM
The Future… • For new or existing RIs, • The EU needs to pave the way towards an efficient research ‘ecosystem’ • Member States remain the key actors • Large facilities • Distribute European facilities • Regional Partner Facilities • Linked with EU and nationa programmes, universities & schools • Network of industrial suppliers/users • ’. Without the jont involvement of the scientific communities and the territorial developmentactors, the EU will not succeed in managing this (efficient) ‘ecos-system
The Future… H2020 JERICO-Next ? ENVRI+? GROOM 2 ??? ERIC EuroArgo
Advisory board • Merged Advisory (scientific) Board and Policy Maker Board • Two step consultation : 3 experts at the GA and review process for the final scientific report and executive summary by all ~~~~~ • GROOM @ EuroGOOS : • Which institutional support from EuroGOOS ? • Which kind of concrete actions can be conducted to exploit EGO/GROOM momentum ? • GROOM @ FIXO3 : • Concretize potential GROOM input to WP11 "Optimization of ocean observing capability" ? • Which kind of concrete actions can be conducted to exploit EGO/GROOM momentum ? • GROOM @ EuroArgo and ESFRI : • Which concrete work with the EuroARGO ERIC ? • Present ESFRI trend toward a large Marine RI.
