Descrizione del progetto
Coordinamento tra ricerca e innovazione nel bacino atlantico
L’iniziativa faro di ricerca e innovazione del Sud Atlantico e la dichiarazione di Belém, firmata dall’UE, dal Brasile e dal Sudafrica nel 2017, mirano a rafforzare la cooperazione nell’ambito della ricerca e dello sviluppo nel bacino Atlantico. Attraverso l’avvio di una piattaforma geografica ed equilibrata in termini di genere che coinvolge molteplici parti interessate, il progetto AANChOR, finanziato dall’UE, co-progetterà e co-condurrà attività collaborative concrete, di lungo termine e con un approccio dal basso verso l’alto sfruttando le iniziative in corso, rafforzando la cooperazione internazionale tra l’Europa e i paesi dell’Atlantico tropicale e del Sud Atlantico e instaurando relazioni con iniziative parallele che interessano l’Oceano nord Atlantico. AANChOR fornirà finanziamenti di avviamento per le prime fasi dello sviluppo di azioni pilota congiunte selezionate e identificherà i meccanismi e gli strumenti di finanziamento adeguati, tra quelli esistenti, affinché tali azioni siano sostenibili a lungo termine.
Obiettivo
The main ambition of AANChOR is to promote the implementation of the South Atlantic Research and Innovation Flagship initiative and the Belém Statement (BS), signed by the EU, Brazil and South Africa in 2017, to upscale research and innovation cooperation within the Atlantic basin, from Antarctica to the Arctic. AANChOR will pursue this ambition by providing the EC and the BS Implementation Committee (to be established by signatories of the Statement) with a framework to identify and contribute to the implementation of concrete long-term collaborative activities, reinforcing international cooperation between Europe and tropical and South Atlantic countries and connecting with the challenges and research needs of the North Atlantic Ocean. AANChOR will be responsible for launching a multi-stakeholder platform to identify collaborative activities, building on national and international ongoing initiatives such as the All Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance and addressing activities aimed at reinforcing capacity building, promoting academia-industry knowledge transfer for an enhanced ocean innovation, developing common standards, enhancing citizen awareness and ocean literacy and converging and aligning R&I infrastructure initiatives. To contribute to the implementation of the identified joint activities, AANChOR will provide seed money for the first development stages of selected joint pilot actions and support the identification of the most appropriate existing funding mechanisms and tools for further development of the selected activities. AANChOR will also define long term measures for the sustainability of the cooperation framework beyond the lifetime of the CSA. Recognising the evolving nature of the BS implementation, flexibility has been incorporated into the structure of the CSA allowing its activities adjustment wherever needed. The consortium brings together partners from 5 European Countries, 2 Latin American countries and 2 African countries.
