BlueBio Project Database

The database to inform Blue Bioeconomy actors about research carried out in the EU

Back to index

The BlueBio database represents the first comprehensive and robust collection of internationally and nationally funded research projects active in the years 2003-2019 on the topics of fisheries, aquaculture and marine biotechnology. Based on the database of previous research projects carried out within the COFASP ERA-NET, it was implemented within the ERA-NET Cofund BlueBio project through a four-year data collection including four surveys and extensive data retrieval work. After being integrated, the data were harmonised, shared as open and disseminated through a WebGIS that proved to be crucial for data entry, updating and validation. The database consists of 3,254 ‘georeferenced’ projects, described by 22 parameters grouped into textual and spatial, some directly collected while others were deduced.

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.
