The AMRIT Project “Advance Marine Research Infrastructures Together” is building the foundations for a more interoperable and user-driven marine data ecosystem in Europe. Central to this mission has been an active process of stakeholder engagement, ensuring that the project’s outputs are designed with the community, rather than merely for it. Through a series of regional workshops, the project gathered input from key users across Europe to shape the tools being built and ensure they fit real operational contexts. 

Carlos Rodero is a researcher at the Institute of Marine Sciences - CSIC (ICM-CSIC) with expertise in marine optics, low-cost sensors and citizen science. Within AMRIT, CSIC leads WP15 (“Improvement of Global Data Products from Blended EOVs”), focusing on the data-fusion methods for ocean colour, temperature, and oxygen for offshore and coastal datasets (including biodiversity in the latter case). 

The AMRIT consortium is excited to share their response to the European Commission’s (EC) Call for evidence on the upcoming European Strategy on Research and Technology (submitted in May 2025). 

ARMINES is seeking a Project Director for HEP AMRIT to join their dynamic team with an international dimension in the field of Ocean Observation. The successful candidate will manage/coordinate/direct the ambitious Horizon Europe Project AMRIT, supervised by professor Laurent Mortier and in close cooperation with the partners of the project.
