The European Commission adopted its first-ever Strategic Foresight Report, aiming to identify emerging challenges and opportunities to better steer the European Union’s strategic choices. Let's discover why the report is relevant to Blue-Cloud.
EU missions aim to deliver solutions to some of our greatest societal challenges, such as cancer, adaptation to climate change, healthy oceans, climate-neutral cities and healthy soil and food. You can vote for Blue-Cloud's proposal until 14 September 2020.
The farming of fish and seafood, also known as aquaculture, in the EU has been subject to a set of EU-wide strategic guidelines, which set out standard priorities and targets to ensure the sector is run and developed sustainably. The EC has launched a public consultation about the new guidelines to be implemented late 2020.
Blue-Cloud partners CNR and CINECA activated a new collaboration aimed at extending the D4Science infrastructure with a computational site hosted at CINECA.
The European Commission and the European External Action Service have launched a targeted consultation to assess development needs and options for the EU’s International Ocean Governance agenda. Have your say until 15 October 2020!
Sustainability and security of seafood systems are extremely relevant issues for policy-makers, especially in coastal areas which heavily depend on fishing in terms of sustenance and economy. The demonstrator “Aquaculture Monitor” shows how Blue-Cloud services can support data-related aspects of the monitoring of marine cage aquaculture.
Last week, the European Commission adopted an updated action plan for a sustainable, resilient and competitive blue economy in the EU Atlantic area, covering France, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
The EOSC Executive Board is launching an open consultation on the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). The consultation will run for 6 weeks over the summer, closing 31st August and will be in the form of an online questionnaire available on the EOSCSecretariat.eu website. Have your say and help us shape the future of the EOSC!
