WP1
-Analyse and map the community dealing with marine metrology in Europe.
-Identify their specific roles and contributions.
-Document user requirements in the total spectrum of marine observations focusing the metrology activities on the societal and regulatory needs expressed at the European level.
WP2
-Start with the organisation and conduction of a workshop aimed at training and capacity-building entitled "Introduction to metrology for young and early career marine scientists".
-Promote the dissemination of the application of metrological principles to oceanographic measurements.
WP3
-Assessing the data that will be collected, managed and shared within the project
-Derive best practice recommendations for ensuring a harmonised access to observation data and its related quality information
WP4
-Stakeholder mapping
-Assessing the nature of stakeholder’s influence/power and interest
-Fostering connection with relevant stakeholders to support the integration and the interoperability between different EU networks and other European RIs and and the standardisation activities.
-Connecting MINKE with the industry/manufacturers community (T4.2) SMEs and NGOs
-Launching and managing the TNA-VA calls to access the research infrastructures.
WP5
-Create the portfolio of TNA/VA installations, describe procedures and teams in charge of access provision
-Develop the General guidelines for the TNA/VA calls.
WP6
-Provide a complete, cost-effective, open sensor solution for coastal monitoring including weather, air quality and water physico-chemical parameters
-Generate provisions that ease the access, operation and calibration of low-cost sensors for environmental measurements by users or communities of users, aiming to conduct experiments in coastal areas
-Provide support to the TNA in the different steps of the experimentation process
-Create a knowledge base for supporting low-cost sensor activities and beneficiaries projects
-Contribute to creating a complete workflow for reproducible experimentation using low-cost sensors, from hardware and software to data
-Promote MINKE within the Fab Lab community and Citizen Science practitioners
WP7
-Develop MINKA as the CS Platform instead of Natusfera.
-Consolidate (with MINKA) the engaging activities in Catalonia and we try to expand to other countries (Italy).
-Use, in joint work with the government of Catalonia, all the data generated to include and elaborate the document “State of nature in Catalonia 23”, focused in explore the possible impacts and the corrective measures to prevent it.
WP8
-Assess the different formats, sampling methods and reporting of marine litter data (which was selected as Essential Ocean Variable, EOV for testing data fusion techniques)
-Explore and define harmonisation metrics for these data, as a fundamental step prior to applying fusion algorithms.
WP9
-Improve the quality of measurement methods for a broad variety of biogeochemical (O2, carbonate, Dissolved Organic Matter), biological (phytoplankton, bioacoustics) EOVs, and contaminants such as PAHs, physical (absolute salinity, currents, underwater noise), obtained from techniques that currently lack clear calibration and quality assessment protocols to achieve the required in-situ data quality.
WP10
-Set the basis for the optimal and transparent project evolution.
-Track the project outcomes (deliverables, milestones and periodic scientific and financial reports) to ensure proper compliance.
