Maritime and Marine Technologies for a new ERA - ERA-NET Cofund
The overall goal of the ERA-NET Cofund MarTERA is to strengthen the European Research Area (ERA) in maritime and marine technologies as well as Blue Growth. Research and innovation activities in these fields cannot be tackled either at national levels alone, or solely by a single sector. The ERA-NET Cofund MarTERA is a network of 18 ministries, authorities and funding organisations responsible for funding research and innovation projects in maritime and marine technologies from 15 countries.
The consortium will organise and co-fund, in cooperation with the European Commission under Horizon 2020, a joint call for transnational research and innovation projects on five different thematic priority areas.
- PA1: Environmentally friendly maritime technologies
- PA2: Development of novel materials and structures
- PA3: Sensors, automation, monitoring and observations
- PA4: Advanced manufacturing and production
- PA5: Safety and security
The realisation of a European research and innovation agenda requires a broad and systematic cooperation in all areas of waterborne transport, offshore activity, marine resources, maritime security, biotechnologies, desalination, offshore oil & gas, fisheries, aquaculture etc. covering all relevant maritime and marine sectors and regions for a sustainable development of the maritime.
Moreover, the focus of development in MarTERA is given to technologies (instead of sectors) due to their potentially large impact to a wide range of application fields. This call covers all relevant maritime and marine sectors and regions for a sustainable development of the maritime sector. Furthermore, additional joint activities that go beyond this co-funded call are planned, in order to contribute to the national priorities as well as to the Strategic Research Agenda of JPI Oceans and WATERBORNE. With the cooperation of ERA-NET MARTEC and JPI Oceans, a broader variety of topics with a larger amount of funding will be available for the trans-national projects.
- Submission
- The pre-proposal and the full proposal must be submitted correctly and completely before the respective deadlines via the MarTERA Submission Tool (www.martera.eu) according to the Application procedure (chapter 5) and the Guidelines for proposal submission (which are published in the submission tool by call opening). Applicants should note that failure to comply with the submission rules will cause ineligibility of the project and therefore exclusion from the application process.
- The proposal must be written in English.
- Each pre-proposal submitted correctly and on time will be checked for eligibility as a whole. This means that failure of one partner within the consortium to meet the criteria will cause the entire project to be rejected. Each applicant is therefore strongly recommended to contact his NPM to ensure eligibility.
The above criteria apply to all partners. These represent the minimal requirements and do not exclude more specific criteria. Partners from countries/regions participating in the call must also meet the national criteria as outlined in the National Regulations. Details can be requested from the NPM
