MINKE

MINKE project aims to integrate the main European research infrastructures in the field of marine metrology to coordinate their use and development. In addition, it proposes an innovative framework for the qualification of oceanographic information for the monitoring and management of marine ecosystems based on two dimensions of quality, the accuracy and completeness of the acquired data. Finally, through the various integration activities ("Networking", "Transnational-Virtual Access" and "Joint Research Activity") envisaged, it contextualizes this new vision in a quintuple helix innovation model aiming to lay the foundations of a new concept " community ”of marine observation activity capable of supporting the transition towards a socio-economic system of“ blue growth ”.
