Governance structureGovernance structure

ESONET-VISO COMMUNITY


The legal organisation/1The legal organisation/1• The ERIC is considered a suitable legal form by the funding

agencies and the community (Strasbourg - Funding Agencies meeting, February 2010)

• EMSO-ERIC statutes already drafted, under review by the partners

• Environmental laws at each EMSO site already reviewed

• Legal work for the next months will cover:

− Finalisation of EMSO-ERIC Statutes

− Model agreements for sites with already-existing facilities

− Model sites: Arctic/Norway, Porcupine Abyssal Plain, Sicily


The legal organisation/2The legal organisation/2

• Next steps before the end of the Preparatory Phase:

1. MoU among Countries that have shown interest, while the EMSO-ERIC statutes is being finalised

2. Once 3 Member States Countries will ensure the financial commitment application for the EMSO-ERIC

3. Additional Countries will join subsequently


• Statutory seat with central management

• Regional Departments (RDs) in charge of the EMSO nodes

• The RDs shall be either owned or not by the EMSO-ERIC (agreements needed)

The management of the future infrastructure


Central Management Central Management • EMSO-ERIC main tasks:

– Define and deploy the scientific and financial strategy

– Ensure the open access

– Coordinate the scientific evaluation of experiments proposed by users

– Ensure compliance with quality standard

– Adopt technical standards

– Ensure steady operation of observatories in order to provide the collection of long-term time series data

– Manage, store and disseminate collected data

– Organise cost efficient cooperation of personnel and technical means including sea operation


Regional Department TasksRegional Department Tasks

• Deploy observatories

• Ensure continuous operation (24h x 7d)

• Contacts with local authorities and stakeholders, local ships, etc…

• Provide assistance to users in implementing experiments

• Manage data flow

• Manage budget to implement the activities at the nodes


Interest Currently expressed Interest Currently expressed by Member Statesby Member States

• EMSO is presently in the roadmap of the following Countries:– Italy, France, Germany, Ireland*, Spain,

Sweden, Greece, UK, Norway – The Prime Ministry of Turkey State Planning

Organization (DPT), acting as funding agency for research infrastructures, is considering EMSO as one of the projects to include in the roadmap for Turkey

*EMSO has been designated in Ireland as an "A“ rating in terms of potential investment

Synergies with other initiativesSynergies with other initiatives• EMSO is complementary to other initiatives such as:

– EUROARGO as the Eulerian counterpart

– KM3NeT with respect to associate sciences

– SIOS as the marine component

– EPOS for marine data

– ICOS for marine data

– EUROFLEETS

– EUROSITES


Promote joint plans for deployments (e.g., OBS)

Coordinate the activities and the implementation plans (e.g., inclusion of representatives in Advisory Boards, joint participation to experiments and campaigns)

Find opportunities for meeting and joint discussions

Promote common lobbying initiatives for future calls

Coordinate activities for fund rising

EMSO/EPOS co-ordination


Integrate and enhance the existing infrastructures

Expand the observations in critical, representative locations in particular environments

Develop a global system of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary sustained observatory networks
