F-IEA has been invited to participate as Advisory Board of the project SMARTLAGOON under the H2020 European Research and Innovation Programme
The San Antonio University Foundation (UCAM) on behalf of the SMARTLAGOON Consortium invites the Euromediterranean Water Institute Foundation to participate as a member in this committee from February 1st of 2021 until December 31st of 2024, with the objective to become a member of the Advisory Board a high-level group of experts appointed in the research area of the project.
The SMARTLAGOON project aims at developing cross-cutting and green technology for modelling and predicting socio-environmental processes across different temporal and spatial scales. This will be achieved through a digital twin strategy that allows researchers, stakeholders and policymakers to collect data more cost-effectively, and to create more precise models and predictions to support better decision making.
As a case study, this project uses the Mar Menor Lagoon (Murcia, Spain), whose ecosystem supports a great variety of human activities encompassing tourism, agriculture, fishing, and mining that have led to its deterioration.
The Advisory Board is established to ensure the external monitoring of the project progress and to provide expert supervision and assessment to the project members regarding the work packages implementation.
This monitoring body
will also participate in the project exploitation strategy by supporting the
efforts of the consortium in terms of capitalization of the outcomes and
milestones to guarantee the transferability of the project results in
policymaking and improving processes for the benefit of the European programme
countries as well as all partner and associated countries within the European
Research and Innovation Programme.
