PHAROS Project
PHAROS, a Horizon Europe project launching in September 2024, will tackle climate change and human impacts on marine biodiversity over the next 5 years. The European Union is taking significant steps towards protecting and restoring our ocean’s health with the PHAROS project, a crucial part of the EU’s ambitious Ocean Mission. Aiming to achieve three key objectives by 2030, restoring marine ecosystems and biodiversity, eliminating ocean pollution, and creating a sustainable blue economy, PHAROS is set to bridge the development phase (ending in 2025) and the deployment phase (2026-2030).
H2Heat Project
The H2Heat project, in collaboration with the Canary Islands Ocean Platform (PLOCAN), aims to harness the power of offshore wind energy to produce green hydrogen as a sustainable fuel source. H2Heat is set to revolutionise the way we generate and utilise energy by converting heat into the commercial building’s heating and hot water systems, for example in one of the hospitals in Gran Canaria. This may reduce CO2 emissions by over fifty percent, significantly contributing to their sustainability goals. ICoRSA is leading the Dissemination, Communication work package and contributes to the State-of-the Art, the development of interventions, indicators and metrics, and policy briefs.
OPUS Project
The Open and Universal Science (OPUS) project develops coordination and support measures to reform the assessment of research and researchers at Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) and Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) towards a system that incentivises and rewards researchers to take up Open Science practices. ICoRSA is leading the Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation work package and contributes to the State-of-the Art, the development of interventions, indicators and metrics, and policy briefs.
RAISE Project
The main goal of RAISE (Regions’ Alliances for Interconnected Start-up Ecosystems) is to develop a new and sustainable integrated support framework to foster start-up growth and scale-up across Europe in all its dimensions, from initial funding, research support to public incentives and internationalisation. This will result in promoting competitive business models, unconventional collaborations and solutions from all in Europe, and contributing to the establishment of a true EU startup ecosystem, not based on a single city or region, but linking all of them together. ICoRSA is leading the work package on contributing to the visibility of the project and contributes to the development of action plans.
SECURE2 Project
SECURE2 is pioneering the institutional implementation of the European Framework for Research Careers to structurally enhance career progression and mobility, empowering researchers and institutions across Europe.
SECURE Project
The SECURE project is an EU-funded project implemented by a consortium of eighteen organisations led by The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN). In the span of two years (January 2023 – December 2024), the project will focus on improving research careers and reducing career precarity. Researchers are the heart of research and are fundamental contributors to knowledge economies in Europe.
RRING Project
The overall project aim is to bring Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) into the linked up global world to promote mutual learning and collaboration in RRI. This will be achieved by the formation of the global RRING community network and by the development andmobilisation of a global Open Access RRI knowledge base. RRING will align RRI to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global common denominator. ICoRSA is leading the RRING research network and is responsible for implementing a one-year trial of the network in 2020.
GRRIP Project
GRRIP aimed to embed Responsible Research & Innovation into the governance framework of five marine and maritime institutions by engaging academia, industry, policy, and society and aligning its implementation to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to leave a continuing legacy that will enable more marine and maritime institutions to ground these practices in the context of an RRI community centred on the Blue Economy. ICoRSA is actively participating in WP3 “Statement of the Art on RRI Action Plans and quadruple helix dialogue platforms”, WP4 “Quadruple Helix engagement” and WP5 “RPO & RFO Working Groups setup, and audit and impact assessment of RRI maturity”.
