Promoting marine and maritime research in Horizon Europe

This project aims to promote marine and maritime research in the European arena. The consortium brings together 11 Norwegian universities with marine and maritime profile. With communication, outreach and lobbying we want to promote marine research internationally, and advance Norwegian research priorities in Horizon Europe. We will focus on sustainable marine food systems, marine pollution, and prediction of the ocean ecosystem and physical environment.

Norwegian Marine University Consortium (NMU) proposes a project which aims to promote marine research in the European arena and advance Norwegian research priorities. We will link the Norwegian marine research community to the European level and share information in both directions. NMU has a broad foundation in the Norwegian research sector. Marine and maritime activities are the fundament of Norwegian economy, and research related to these activities is highly prioritised in the national agenda. However, at the European level, the situation is different, and with our lobbying and information activities, we want to promote and advance marine research also internationally.
