It aims to strengthen scientific research, technological development and innovation of the region by recruiting highly qualified human resources to reinforce existing skills.
Leaning on the Ria de Aveiro and the Berlengas Natural Reserve, the project will promote the sustainable use of endogenous marine biological resources, their integrated monitoring and the development of different products, processes and adjusted services, in line with the Strategy of Intelligent Specialization defined for the Portuguese Economy of the Sea.
Objectives:
1) Preservation and Sustainability of Endogenous Natural Resources, namely the sustainable use of Endogenous Marine Biological Resources (EMBR) (e.g. macrophytes and bivalves);
2) Monitoring and Integrated Management of Endogenous Natural Resources, namely real time monitoring of production areas through Technology, Information, Communications, and Electronic (TICE) and the fostering of more sustainable production practices in line with the principles of circular economy, such as Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA);
3) Development of Products, Processes and Services Targeting the Promotion of Value Chains Associated with Endogenous Natural Resources, namely by screening EMBR for value-added biomolecules, using them for biodiesel production and add value to these resources through their traceability and certification of origin and/or production."
