On the 30 of July 2009 The European Commission has
published several calls for proposals in various thematic areas
of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
Thematic areas under the Cooperation Specific Programme
include:
•
•
Health (three calls);
•
Information and communication technologies (two
calls);
•
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new
production technologies (six calls);
•
•
•
•
•
•
Energy (four calls);
Food, agriculture and fisheries, and biotechnology
(one call);
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE INFO DAY?
The objective of the call is to build the knowledge base
for a sustainable growth of sea-based activities. It will
do this in two ways: by improving understanding of
marine ecosystems’ response to a combination of
natural and anthropogenic factors, and by providing a
scientific
foundation
for feasible,
sustainable
management measures supporting policies and possible
related technologies.
The event will be opened by Prof. dr hab. Bernard Lammek The
Rector of the University of Gdansk.
The morning session will continue with a presentation of “The
4th call in Theme 6 ENVIRONMENT in FP 7 – opportunities” by
Mr Pierre Mathy, Head of Unit Management of Natural
resources Environment Directorate, DG Research. A panel of
representatives from DG Research in Brussels and from
National Contac Point from Warsaw will then answer questions
from participants.
During the afternoon session there will be presentations about
“Other Possibilities in the Marine R&D Programmes” and
“Financial Issues”. The afternoon session will close with the
“Free Brokerage for international partners” .
The call will be implemented through three topics:
• Quantification of climate change impacts on
economic sectors in the Arctic. (€11 milllion)*
Environment (including climate change) (one call);
• Vectors of changes in marine life, impact on
economic sectors. (€12.5 million) *
Transport (six calls);
Socio-economic sciences and humanities (four calls);
• Sub-seabed carbon storage and the marine
environment. (€10.5 million)*∗
Space (one call);
Security (one call).
Calls under the Capacities Specific Programme are dedicated to
the following Themes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
THE OCEAN OF TOMORROW CALL
Research infrastructures (two calls);
Research for the benefit of SMEs (one call);
Regions of knowledge (one call);
The three topics of “The ocean of tomorrow” call are
implemented jointly by the Themes: Food, Agriculture
and Fisheries, and Biotechnology, Energy, Environment
(including climate change), Transport (including
Aeronautics), Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities
and have identical descriptions under each Theme.

Excellence in marine and maritime research, and in
particular improved integration between all the relevant
scientific disciplines, are needed to address complex
sea-related issues in the framework of the EU maritime
policy. This is an essential objective of the Communication A European Strategy for Marine and
Maritime Research (COM (2008) 534), adopted in
September 2008, which suggested, among other
actions, to launch joint calls under FP7 in 2009-2010 on
major research topics requiring a cross-thematic
approach. The ocean of tomorrow call, launched on 30
July 2009, is the first Commission initiative to
implement this commitment.
