D6.7–Report on Standards and Liaison Activities with Relevant Organizations (Version 1)

The OCEANIDS project enhances coastal resilience through climate-informed maritime spatial planning (MSP) and integrated seascape management, supporting a sustainable and inclusive Blue Economy. This deliverable, D6.7 – Report on Standards and Liaison Activities (version 1), outlines strategies and progress in fostering collaborations with stakeholders, EU initiatives, and global networks to address climate adaptation challenges. This deliverable is connected to Task 6.2 “Liaising with other EU projects, initiatives, and lessons learned: Defining the role of OCEANIDS in the EU Mission” led by EARSC, of Work Package (WP) 6 “Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation of project results”, led by METIS.
Key achievements in the first year include initiating connections with the Copernicus program, the EU Missions on Climate Adaptation and Oceans, and organizations like the European Maritime Safety Agency and EUMETSAT. Stakeholder engagement efforts have connected policymakers, researchers, local communities, and industry leaders, ensuring the project’s solutions are impactful and scalable.
Future actions will focus on expanding the stakeholder network, promoting knowledge exchange, and aligning outputs with European climate objectives. Through its collaborative framework and innovative tools, OCEANIDS aims to deliver long-term impact, driving progress toward resilient coastal ecosystems and a sustainable Blue Economy.
This deliverable also addresses standards considerations of the project, concerning developed OCEANIDS tools. This initial version of the document identifies potentially relevant standardization bodies, technical committees and networks relevant to the project, and key EU legislation and policy frameworks, as well as outlines the plan for standardization monitoring for the whole duration of the project.
