Growth: present and future Ronald Vopel Directorate-General for Research and Innovation Unit H.2 Surface Transport Maritime and Innovation Brokerage Event Santiago de Compostela, November 2013 Picture copyrights pending where applicable
2 Maritime and marine RDI in the EU, Blue Growth: present and future
1.Global overview of past, present and future marine and maritime research areas on EU level
2.Horizon 2020 basics and the place of transport
3.Outline of the Horizon 2020 work programme for 2014 and 2015, "Waterborne Transport" and "Blue Growth"
4.Blue Growth: Scope, definition, policy drivers, study results and possible funding sources
3 Scope of maritime and marine RDI in the EU.
Maritime transport incl. shipbuilding and marine equipment. Energy efficiency and emission reduction
[GHG, pollutants]. Maritime safety and security. Short Sea Shipping, ports and logistics [operations, e-maritime, inter-modality, inland navigation,
ICT]. Waste management [shipborne, dismantling]. Production processes and new materials.
Arctic shipping.
Marine renewable energy. Wind. Waves, currents and tides. OTEC. Algae biofuels.
Offshore oil and gas, methane hydrates.
4 Scope of maritime and marine RDI in the EU (cont΄d). Ocean mineral resources, sea bed mining, deep sea intervention.
Maritime tourism.
Cruise shipping design, safety, efficiency, environment. Sustainable coastal tourism.
Marine environment. Biodiversity, habitats and eco-systems. Invasive species, pollution incl. marine litter.
Living resources (fisheries, aquaculture). Climate change and Arctic dimension.
Oceanography, observation and monitoring, seabed mapping.
Maritime surveillance functions incl. space applications.
Socio-economic research (seafarers, transport systems etc.).
5 Scope of maritime and marine RDI in the EU (cont΄d). Topics come under the responsibility of a number of Directorates- General in the European Commission (RTD, MOVE, CNECT, ENTR, ENV, MARE, JUST, REGIO, ENER, EMPL).
Policy development and RDI funding are always linked but not necessarily organised in the same department.
Multitude of instruments (FPs, TPs, JPIs, JTIs, ERA, PPPs, studies etc.) The regional context gets particular attention (e.g. through the European sea-basin strategies), linkage with EU structural funds.
International co-operation where beneficial and adequate, sometimes required (e.g. IMO, ICES, Arctic Council, bi-lateral).
6 Horizon 2020 is different from FP7. A strong challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions.
Simplified list of possible types of action (e.g. research and 100%; innovation 70%,
).
Less prescription, strong emphasis on expected impact. Broader topics. Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international
)

9 Horizon 2020. Transport. "Mobility for Growth": Resource efficient transport, safe and seamless, environmentally friendly, competitive.
Partly to be carried out by PPPs, waterborne PPP under discussion by
industry. Multidisciplinary research will play a key role. Enhancing the innovation potential of projects, growth and jobs, support for SMEs.
Ocean. Unlocking the potential of the oceans ("Blue Growth") included as focus area.
Marine mineral resources, blue bio-tech, maritime tourism, ocean energy, new aquaculture identified as first (policy) priorities, R&I priorities slightly different.
Need for marine knowledge generation and enabling technologies, esp. for new frontiers
(Arctic, deep
sea), international co-operation.

18 What is Blue Growth? Blue Growth describes the value of the seas, oceans and coasts to economic growth. Specifically, the Commission is looking for Sustainable growth and employment based on marine resources, scientific or economic activities in established, emerging or future maritime sectors and in the coastal regions.
19 Blue Growth and Growth Blues Lack of comprehensive analysis of growth drivers and possible future policy options Need for better understanding of the impact of new technologies, external factors and meta-trends Sub-optimal development of maritime sectors.
20 The aims Look at key economic maritime areas and assess potential (qualitatively and quantitatively) Identify barriers to and drivers for sustainable growth, derive micro- futures Explore regional and sea-basin dimension Guide future (maritime) policy strategies, in line with
Europe 2020 strategy and objectives 20

17 Blue Growth Blue Growth for the optimal use of marine resources Contribution of the blue economy to Europe's growth There is sustainable growth potential in all maritime areas - All we need is to make it work
18 Thank you for your attention
The
North
Pacific gyre is just one of several swirling trash zones (gyres) in
our oceans, and it's where a lot of our plastic litter ends up. While
these debris patches aren't visible piles of floating trash in the water,
they are inverted mountains - a bit like landfill sites at sea - hidden
from view. The reality of what they are and how they got there is mind
boggling and extremely harmful to marine life. We can't (at the moment) do
much about nuclear waste in the oceans (except appeal to reason), but we
can act to vacuum
up solids.

SEAVOLUTION -
Continuous monitoring of the oceans and constant plastic patrols is a
potential cure for pollution build uo,
for which the SeaVax ZCC (Zero Carbon Cruiser) platform, a concept under development, is a robotic ocean
workhorse that holds the potential to provide a part solution to blue
growth. The SeaVax concept is based on a stable
trimaran
hull design that is under development in the UK.
