The European project EMPORIA4KT will help transfer research results to create value and boost Europe’s Blue Economy, which represents all economic activities related to the oceans, seas and coastal zones and includes industries such as fishing, shipbuilding, tourism and ocean energy.
The project will run from 2019 to 2022 with an overall budget of approximately €2.2 million co-financed by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund Interreg Atlantic Area.
Coordinated by the Universidade Nova de Lisboa – Nova School of Science and Technology, it involves 13 partners from Portugal, Ireland, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. Andalusia participates in this ambitious project through the Andalusian Technological Corporation (CTA), the Center for New Water Technologies Foundation (CENTA) and the Campus of International Excellence of the Sea (CEIMAR). In addition, the Andalusian Knowledge Agency also collaborates in the project as an associated partner.
