The Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) will deliver solutions to strengthen EU and international science-policy interfaces in marine- and maritime-related domains of the EU Green Deal and Digital Europe strategies through aligning national, regional and EU R&I priorities bringing together science, industry, policy and society. It will also contribute to accelerating post-pandemic recovery and resilience. In line with the EC's new approach for a sustainable blue economy in the EU, the SBEP rolls-out impact pathways to catalyse the transformation of ocean economy value chains; deliver ocean knowledge and impact-driven R&I solutions; cooperate in responding to international, EU and national regulations, recommendations and policy strategies; contribute to the social and digital transition by developing innovative governance frameworks that benefit coastal communities, including by reinforcing skills and enhance ocean observation capacity contributing to EOOS and GEOSS.
59 partners from 25 countries (MS and AC) and the EC will join an unprecedented effort to pool R&I investments, aligning programmes at a pan-European scale. The ambition is to launch 6 co-funded calls over a seven-year timeframe to support R&I joint programming on thematic priority areas of interventions stemming from a co-designed SRIA. The SBEP will also identify additional mechanisms for alignment and look for further economic support of R&I programs leveraging other funding and finance streams. In parallel, a long-term structuring ambition will support the creation of a community of practice, fostering co-creation, coordinating all relevant initiatives at the sea-basins/Atlantic Ocean level and further promoting the EU blue economy at the global level.
The FRCT is responsible for implementing the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) in the Azores Regional Research and Innovation ecosystem. In addition, in the SBEP project, the FRCT, among other things, leads the WP3 "Implementation of the calls", which is expected to deliver the first joint call for research and innovation proposals in the first year. For that, the FRCT is responsible for inviting institutions for the first and second phases, elaborating technical materials to support the calls, launching them, and evaluating them. Besides, it is under the WP3 that invitations to financially support infrastructures will also be done.
