Benthic ecosystem fisheries Impact Study (BENTHIS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Benthic ecosystems provide important goods and services, such as fisheries products and supporting, regulation and cultural services. There is serious concern about the adverse impact of fisheries on benthic ecosystem which may negatively affect the fisheries yield and integrity of the sea bed. To develop an integrated approach to the management of human activities in the marine environment, in pa ...

Community-based Interoperability Utility for SMEs (Commius)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

More than 99% of European enterprises are SMEs. While collaboration with other enterprises provides potential for improving business performance, enterprise interoperability research is yet to produce results which can be used by SMEs without the need for high start-up costs (learning costs as well as system purchasing and installation costs). For a solution to be taken up by SMEs it must offer bo ...
