Brief Description of Organisation:

Ifremer, the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea, contributes through its work and expertise, knowledge of the oceans and their resources, monitoring of the marine environment and coastal zones and the sustainable development of maritime activities. To these ends, Ifremer conceives and operates tools for observation, experimentation and monitoring, and manage oceanographic databases. It also operates a great part of the ocean research fleet, including all underwater systems and large-scale mobile facilities and equipments. Ifremer performs targeted applied research to address the questions posed by society (climate change effects, marine biodiversity, pollution prevention, seafood quality, etc.). Results include scientific knowledge, technological innovations, and systems for ocean observation and exploration.

The units of “coastal environment dynamics” and “physical and space oceanography” are yet involved in global and coastal operational oceanography. They have a major role in the development of European operational networking activities in Europe (MyOcean, EuroGOOS, JERICO.RI) and in Data management (CORIOLIS, SeaDataNet). Ifremer also co-lead the National Research Infrastructure for coastal observation ILICO (lnfrastructure de recherche Littorale et côtière).

JERICO-S3: Main tasks attributed under Work Packages:

Ifremer is strongly involved in all Work Packages due to its scientific background and experience. Ifremer as such will assume the coordination and management of the project (WP13) and leads WP9.

JERICO-DS: Main tasks attributed under Work Packages:

Ifremer is involved in all Work Packages due to its scientific background and experience. Ifremer as such will assume the coordination and management of the project (WP7) and leadership of WP5; and Ifremer’s third party CNRS will co-lead WP1.

JERICO-NEXT: Main tasks attributed under Work Packages:

Ifremer is strongly involved in all Work Packages due to its scientific background and experience. Ifremer as such will assume the coordination and management of the project (WP9) and lead WP3 and WP4.
