About

MarTERA is an ERA-NET COFUND scheme of Horizon 2020 of the European Commission. The overall goal of the ERA-NET Cofund MarTERA is to strengthen the European Research Area (ERA) in maritime and marine technologies as well as Blue Growth. ​

The MarTERA consortium, consisting of 16 collaborating countries, has organized joint call that is co-funded by the EU for transnational research projects on different thematic areas in 2017. Furthermore, three joint calls without co-funding by the EU have been successfully launched by the MarTERA partners in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Additional joint activities are planned, in order to contribute to the national priorities as well as to the Strategic Research Agenda of JPI Oceans and WATERBORNE. ​

The focus of development in MarTERA is given to technologies (instead of sectors) due to their potentially large impact to a wide range of application fields.

The ProNiCare Project is funded through the MarTERA ERA-NET COFUND by

Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) ​

Norges forskningsråd – The Research Council of Norway (RCN) ​

The Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST)
