Abstract
BlueBRIDGE responds to the Juncker Investment Plan opening funding opportunities for e-Infrastructures, innovating current
practices in producing & delivering scientific knowledge advice to competent authorities & enlarges the spectrum of growth
opportunities in distinctive Blue Growth areas.
BlueBRIDGE builds on existing EU and International e-Infrastructures providing capacity building in interdisciplinary research
communities of scientists, data managers & educators in academic institutions & industries focusing on 4 major challenges:
1) stock assessment 2) socio-economic performance analysis in aquaculture 3) fisheries & habitat degradation monitoring 4)
education & knowledge bridging on protection & management of marine resources.
BlueBRIDGE will be deployed in 30 months by an authoritative & complementary consortium with expertise in multiple
scientific domains. It bundles forces from International Government Organizations, research institutes, industry, SMEs,
education and computer science domains, establishing a network with a proven track in VREs & e-Infrastructures, marine,
environmental & fisheries science & economy.
Goals
BlueBRIDGE's overall objective is to support capacity building in interdisciplinary research communities actively involved in increasing scientific knowledge about resource overexploitation, degraded environment and ecosystem with the aim of providing a more solid ground for informed advice to competent authorities and to enlarge the spectrum of growth opportunities as addressed by the Blue Growth Societal Challenge.
