Work Package 3

Research and Innovation

WP3 focuses on collaborative research to bridge knowledge gaps, strengthen quadruple helix linkages, and validate strategy and action plans. It involves developing proof-of-concept technologies, such as the Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) tool and Maritime Internet of Things (IoTs). Use-cases will be created based on identified needs, and stakeholder engagement workshops will gather feedback to address cross-border and cross-sector requirements.
