EFIS Centre is leading the EU-funded SUBMERSE project that is prototyping and deploying innovative technologies into existing submarine cables to monitor the Earth and its systems. The project has key areas of potential impacts, including scientific advancements, innovation through standardisation of technical infrastructure and addressing key societal and environmental challenges. On 4th-5th September, our team members Matías Barberis Rami & Carmela - カルメラ Asero - アセロ led the first workshop on impact, sustainability and exploitation of the project and the infrastructure. This workshop was held as during a project workshop in Potsdam 🇩🇪 hosted by Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam - German Research Centre GFZ Follow the SUBMERSE project page to stay updated with recent developments. In the upcoming months we will publish the first report, including the workshop results that are of high interest for research communities as well as Research and Technology Infrastructures worldwide. #researchinfrastructures #impact #sustainability #submerse #technology #research #innovation

The collaboration will centre on the following joint activities: A. Join R&D activities, namely students and researchers exchange, attending isolated courses and joint supervision of students; B. Joint publications and/or compilation of technical reports or similar documents relating to R+D+i projects, and especially in the fields of energy conversion and storage; C. Cooperation in actions directed at capturing financial, human and material resources hat are external to both entities, for the purpose of enhancing the collaboration activities of both; D. Any others considered to be of mutual interest, within the capabilities of the parties and the activities that are the object hereof. 👩🎓 👨🎓 🤗 💡

We are thrilled to share that Chris Atherton from GÉANT recently represented the #SUBMERSE project at the Atlantic Convergence in Lisbon! Chris highlighted the project's critical role in empowering education and research communities across Europe. #SUBMERSE is building a next-generation, high-bandwidth submarine cable network designed to facilitate the seamless sharing of vast scientific and environmental data. This data will be invaluable for scientists and governments alike, providing crucial insights to: 🌍Better understand our planet Earth: From the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, #SUBMERSE will enable researchers to gather and analyze data with unprecedented detail. 🌊Support environmental monitoring and conservation: #RealTime data on climate change, ocean health, and other critical environmental factors will be readily accessible, aiding in informed decision-making. 🌪️Drive scientific discovery: By fostering collaboration and data exchange, #SUBMERSE will accelerate scientific breakthroughs across diverse fields.

The FAPESP SPRINT 2023/2 call selected 37 international research collaboration proposals, 5 of which are from Dutch-Brazilian research teams. Congratulations to the researchers from Wageningen University & Research and Delft University of Technology and their Brazilian partners, who will collaborate in a wide range of topics. For example, a joint proposal on understanding the role of micro-mobility services in urban sustainability in disadvantaged neighborhoods: Itaim Paulista (São Paulo) and Tarwewijk (Delft); and another one on the analysis of the development and architecture of the roots of tropical pastures inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense and Pseudomonas fluorescens to construct drought-resistant materials using rhizotron WUR-NPEC G4. https://lnkd.in/gFBi5Dxc
