Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership Transnational Access Call to Research Infrastructures 2025

The Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership is launching the first call for access to Research Infrastructures [2025 TA Call to RIs], enabling applicants from the pan-European blue economy community to submit a proposal for utilising the Research Infrastructures (RIs) made available by providers partners of the Partnership. The call aims to implement the Partnership’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) by addressing key intervention areas, supporting internationalisation, and promoting Open Data and Open Science. It seeks to enhance innovation, align national investments with EU strategies, and improve operational efficiency by optimising the use and sharing of RIs.

Applications in this call must be impact-driven contributions to the transformation into a blue economy for a more resilient future and towards carbon neutrality targets, following an impact pathway approach. Each project should therefore describe it's impacts accordingly. The possible users of the outcomes of the projects should be identified in the application. Reflections on contribution to relevant initiatives will be appreciated as well as on stakeholders’ engagement, including a broad range of actors, i.e. industry partners, citizens, and policy makers.

A single step procedure will apply to this Access Call; the submission of proposals is mandatory. Applicants will have up to 29 April 2025, 15:00 CEST to submit their proposals.
