The consortium of the STRONGMAR project is made of
six partners with multidisciplinary and complementary competencies, with
excellence in their scientific and technological areas of expertise.
The leading factor in building the team was
the scientific excellence and leading role in the topics of relevance with the
additional intention to keep the consortium small and compact, thus reducing
the management costs and increasing the global efficiency.
The
members have excellent scientific track record both in the quality and impact
of publications and vast experience on maritime technology research projects,
advanced technology development for the sea, its operation and technology
transfer.
They cover and address the competencies defined as functional objectives in
the process of rising the scientific excellence on maritime technology, and
gaining capabilities for addressing the future challenges for the deep sea and
maritime long term autonomy presence.
The consortium as a whole not only covers a complementary and multidisciplinary
set of scientific areas, but also provides a diversified experience of the
partners and access to relevant community and means (required for the ambitious
objectives of the project), bringing together the knowledge and skills to form a
centre of excellence in science and technology for the sea.
