Task 1.2 Boundaries of JERICO-RI in the national landscapes of EU Environment RIs and
contribution to global coastal observations

(M01-M24) (IFREMER-CNRS, CNR, HEREON, EuroGOOS, ALL NATIONS)

To optimise the position and role of JERICO-RI in the EU landscape of environmental RIs and of course of the marine domain (such as EMSO, ARGO, DANUBIUS, AQUACOSM, eLTER), the project is drawing a particular effort to establish a framework of collaboration with other RIs. As part of this job is addressed in JERICO-S3 by a top down approach in the JS3-WP2 with representatives of RIs, Task 1.2 of JERICO-DS will secure the bidirectional scientific approach by investigating what scientific needs, expertise and kind of data each national RI is expecting from other national RIs to foster synergies between RIs at national level.

This will be a first step in the exploration of RI synergy. Then WP2 and WP3 will assess the technical complementarities, WP4 and WP5 will assess the consequence on the business plan and governance. The main outcome: Deliverable D1.2 will help design the dynamic framework in which JERICO-RI will evolve during the next 10 years. Beyond EU boundaries, the JERICO-RI vision at the European and global level will be further strengthened through the interaction with other OOS (Ocean Observing Systems) such a GOOS, IOOS, in addition to the current work with NANOOS (USA), Ocean Network Canada and IMOS (Australia) to help refine long range plans. We will also interact with the GSO (Group of Senior Officials on global RIs), that will help evaluate the global interest of the JERICO-RI and exploring collaboration opportunities.

Milestone: Revision of the general and scientific approach (M24).
Milestone: GSO collaboration established (M24).

Deliverables:

  • Task 1.2: D1.2 (M18): First elements to unify environmental RI efforts at national level: national scientific expectations across RIs (specific goals, expertise, data).
