Description du projet
Relever les défis de la durabilité, de l’aquaculture à la sécurité maritime
L’équilibre de nos écosystèmes marins est menacé. Les pratiques aquacoles font l’objet d’un examen minutieux en raison de leur impact sur l’environnement, tandis que les préoccupations en matière de sécurité maritime prennent de l’ampleur dans un paysage géopolitique en constante évolution. Le projet SeaTecHub, financé par l’UE, ouvre la voie à des solutions innovantes. Il s’est fixé pour objectif de renforcer les écosystèmes d’innovation croates et chypriotes, de favoriser l’excellence et d’encourager la collaboration transfrontalière dans le domaine des technologies éco-innovantes pour des océans dynamiques et productifs. SeaTecHub se concentre sur cinq secteurs clés: l’aquaculture et la pêche, les ports intelligents, la sécurité et la protection maritimes, la recherche et l’éducation, et les technologies maritimes. Ces domaines s’inscrivent dans les stratégies de spécialisation intelligente des deux pays.
Objectif
The main goal of the SeaTecHub project is to strengthen Croatian and Cyprus place-based innovation ecosystems and improve access to excellence for R&I actors by cross-border collaboration on a common strategy and alongside value adding chains within the area of eco-innovative technologies for healthy and productive seas, focusing on sectors 1. Aquaculture and fisheries, 2. Smart ports, 3. Maritime security and protection, 4. Research and Education, and 5. Maritime technologies, which are aligned with Croatian and Cypriot Smart Specialization Strategies and have been identified as emerging and established sectors in the EU Blue Economy Report 2021 .
The objectives of the SeaTecHub project are: 1) to facilitate long-term cross border and inter-sectoral collaboration to advance eco-innovative technologies for healthy and productive seas, 2) to perform joint research work to close knowledge gaps, consolidate and reinforce quadruple-helix linkages, and validate strategy and action and investment plans (AIPs), 3) to implement a set of mutual learning and skills development measures, and 4) to raise visibility of Croatian-Cyprus innovation ecosystems by implementing strategic measures in the form of organizing networking, knowledge and experience transfer events.
These objectives will be reached through a set of measures that include a) development of the strategy and AIPs and their digitalization through an innovative platform utilizing blockchain-based tokenization, b) R&I projects selected considering cross-border and cross-sectoral needs within, c) conceptual design and pre-planning for pilots and demonstrators, and d) a set of accompanying measures and outreach activities.
The SeaTecHub consortium covers the quadruple helix of Croatian and Cyprus ecosystems: 2 research organizations, 4 public authorities, 5 business actors, and 3 NGOs. Strong willingness to actively participate has also been expressed by 49 institutions who have provided Letter of Support.
