Eurofleets+ New Access Programmes JOINT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
• Developing new interoperable tools and technologies in support of deep water operations. (McCartney, Seaonics, HAMPIÐJAN)
• New technologies for AUV/ASV(Aqua Robotics, Coronis)
• Optimizing solutions for telepresence and real-time data transfer (e-access) (Voyager IP, GFOE)
• Reviewing and upgrading the suite of shipboard software and services
• Advancing access to acquired data (Maris) Optimising Solutions for Telepresence & Real Time Data Transfer
VSAT Services: 69% Yes / 25% No / 6% Don’t Know Pool VAST across Eurofleets+ Fleet Cellular Services: 88% Yes / 12 No Cellular Technology to extend the off shore range capabilities needs to be examined thereby reducing the requirement for VSAT Bandwidth Mgt: 56% Yes / 38% / NO 6% Don’t know Low awareness around consumption of Bandwidth across the fleet Education & Training
5 x Floating Universities focusing on Hydrography, Robotics, Fisheries, Oceanography and one Multidisciplinary with 46 student places & 32 training days available.
6 x Workshops focusing on AUV’s, ROV’s, Seismics Lab and Telepresence Ladays with up to 30 places over a total of 19 days tuition

Developing EFs+ STRATEGIC PLAN an on-line survey was launched on March 2019 to define Efs+ aspirations (MISSION, VISION and 1 value), positioning and environment through a PESTLE and SWOT analysis on-going activities, but first results were presented during the meeting ERVO 2019 Feasibility study toward a long-term TA system of Research Vessels 2 desktop analysis of legal entity (i.e. ERIC, AISBL) adopted by Advanced and Emerging RI community in Europe (i.e. EUFAR, Jerico, Danibius)
Main strategic element towards a long-term sustainable system are: • Internationalisation & international research collaboration LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE • Establishment of centralised secretariat • Secure longer-term financial commitment by members COORDINATED SYSTEM OF • Advanced governance structures & coordination of operations RESEARCH VESSELS • Demonstrate European and global scientific leadership • Greater capacity to work in association with industry • Close connection with EU research and industrial policy frameworks 3 Building Eurofleets legacy
4 Eurofleets+ roadmap and guidelines CONCLUSION
Communication & Dissemination • Wider Access to Research Vessels
Innovation • Foster Innovation – Co Create Management
• Education of the next generation of Stakeholder researchers Engagement & Legacy
• Development of synergies and complimentary capabilities across RVs and Stakeholders Education & Training
• Better management of the continuous JRA flow of data
• Disseminate Eurofleets+ Science TNA THANK YOU www.eurofleets.eu @eurofleets
