Nautilos

New Approach to Underwater Technologies for Innovative, Low-cost Ocean obServation

Back to index

NAUTILOS is a Horizon 2020 Innovation Action project funded under the Seas and Oceans Flagship Initiative that aims to fill gaps in marine observation and modeling of biogeochemical, biological, and physical variables in the deep ocean and for micro/nanoplastics. The project aims to develop a new generation of cost-effective sensors and samplers, implement their integration with observation platforms, and carry out large-scale demonstrations in European seas. The principles behind NAUTILOS will be to develop, integrate, validate and demonstrate new cutting-edge sensor and interoperability technologies. Development will be guided by the goals of scalability, modularity, cost-effectiveness and open source availability of the software products that will be produced. The NAUTILOS project aggregates 21 partners from 11 European countries with multidisciplinary expertise, with the goal of integrating and expanding existing European observing instruments and services, obtaining data with greater spatial resolution, temporal regularity, and length than those currently available on a European scale, and enabling the democratization of marine monitoring for both traditional and non-traditional data users.

Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
