4. European
Mari>me
safety
research
in
the
Transport
directorate
• The
topic
of
mari>me
safety
is
very
important
for
the
European
Commission
• 17
waterborne
projects
in
FP
6
and
7
(between
2007
and
2013)
• A
total
contribu7on
of
45M€
• 27%
of
the
total
financing
in
the
sector,
the
rest
is
split
between
the
other
pillars,
mainly
transport
greening
and
compe77veness
issues.

issues
s7ll
very
important
for
industry,
as
reflected
in
the
Research

Agenda
of
the
Waterborne
Plaqorm
dated
May
2011.
• Ships

opera7on
safety
topic
opened
in

call
• Future
research
areas
in
this
domain:
– oil
spills,
par7cularly
in
Arc7c
environment
– automa7on
and
remote
opera7on
of
ships
– safety
of
Ropax
vessels
and
safe
evacua7on
of
cruise
vessels
– human
errors
– …

13. HORIZON 2020
• The
mari7me
and
marine
sectors
will
s7ll
feature
prominently
• Compe77veness
and
greening
will
con7nue
to
be
the
main
subjects,
with
significant
afen7on
also
to
safety
• More
focus
on
innova7on
• Befer
integra7on
with
broad
marine
topics.
