New web app on seafloor features in Marine Protected Areas - WEBINAR

The Protected Area Impact Maps Virtual Research Environment (PAIM VRE) provides the user with tools to visualize, analyze and report on a range of ecologically important seafloor features within marine protected areas - a key component of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). The interface is built around an interactive map viewer that provides visualization of a range seafloor features. The interface assists users in understanding which seafloor features occur in an area and how these are currently represented in marine protected areas.

Science fueling the growth of European private companies: Meet the winners of the BlueBRIDGE Competitive Call for SMEs

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of Europe's economy. In the past five years, they have created around 85% of new jobs and provided two-thirds of the total private sector employment in the EU. The European Commission considers SMEs and entrepreneurship as key to ensuring economic growth, innovation, job creation, and social integration in the EU. The H2020 BlueBRIDGE project shares the commitment and for this reason it launched its Competitive Call for SMEs designed to support small and medium enterprises in improving their data management practices thus paving the way for enhanced data products and services.
