STRONG REMINDER: Fill "Dissemination activities"
page on Vitamib (!)
Work progress task 1.2: Brochure and
"Gliderport booklet"
• Extensive distribution of the brochure
by the coordinator (OI'14, ICRI, …) +
pencils + T-shirts
• And by the partners (!)
STRONG REMINDER to all to continue
Be reactive to Daniel and Jelto's
solicitations for the booklet
Work progress task 1.2: OI'14
• 9m2 Booth. Animation by UEA, SAMS, UPMC/CNRS, …
• 2 (nice) GROOM videos displayed. Can be downloaded from GROOM
website for further use
• More than 150 GROOM contacts with tracking. Several contacts with
students and young people
• Participation to 2 OI'14 workshops with Oil&Gas stakeholders
First real accurate awareness for us of a potential "industrial"
market for the glider activity
•
GROOM main achievements
• Description of the present infrastructure
(hardware, personnel, running costs,…)
• Survey on possible sensors to implement on
gliders for Research, Ocean Observation &
Management
• New infrastructure components developed and
tested (operations, calibration, visualization, risk
analysis, mission planning piloting,…)
• Outreach (Web sites, training, young audience)
GROOM main achievements
• International coordination (USA, AUS, EU and
others)
• Setup an international community of (best)
practice
• A first common data format was issued in the 3
main poles of glider activity (EU, USA and AUS).
First agreed evidence Gliders as a component of
the GOOS such as the Argo profiling floats, the
OceanSites moorings…
GROOM main achievements
• Assessment of the possible levels of European
integration
Definition of the desired levels of European
integration by the partner (final report)
• Gliders will be included in the next ESFRI roadmap
to be done: better assessment at the national level
of the priority on a national gliders RI (Sp, Fr: should
be OK ; UK, No, It: check)
Really investigate the DG REGIO funding schemes?
GROOM main achievements
• Numerous scientific papers and communications
related to GROOM
STRONG REMINDER: Fill "Dissemination
activities" page on Vitamib
Not finished yet (3 months extension). Achievements
really made concrete after
Review of publishable deliverables (D2.1, D3.5? D4.1? …) and
publication if suitable
Write and publish the Final Scientific Report (due to EC before
28/02/2015)
The next steps for gliders…
• Continue GROOM participation to next ESFRI roadmap be
ready for 2016 EU calls
• Concretize relation between EGO/GROOM and EuroGOOS
• BRIDGES Technological proposal for a deep glider submitted to
BG6/H2020 led by GROOM
• AtlantOS proposal submitted to BG6/H2020. Glider task led by
CNRS
• JERICO+ proposal submitted to INFRAIA/H2020. TNA for gliders,
data management for delayed mode and technological task on
sensors
• ENVRI+ proposal submitted to INFRADEV/H2020. Small
contribution of GROOM
Prepare GROOM participation to H2020 calls for 2016-2017. BG
calls: MedOS ? INFRA calls: ESFRI implementation ?
FP7 plans and achievements
For new or existing RIs,
The EU needs to pave the way
towards an efficient MRI
‘ecosystem’
Member States remain the key actors
• Large facilities
• Distributed European
facilities
• Regional Partner Facilities
• Linked with EU and national
programs, universities &
schools
• Allow to network with
industrial suppliers/users
Without the joint involvement of the scientific communities and’. the territorial development
actors, the EU will not succeed in managing this (efficient) ‘ecos-system’

Advisory board
• Merged Advisory (scientific) Board and Policy Maker Board
• Two step consultation : 3 experts at the GA and review process for the final
scientific report and executive summary by all AB members
• GROOM @ EuroGOOS :
– Which institutional support from EuroGOOS ?
– Which kind of concrete actions can be conducted to exploit
EGO/GROOM momentum ?
• GROOM @ FIXO3 :
– Concretize potential GROOM input to WP11 "Optimization of ocean
observing capability" ?
– Which kind of concrete actions can be conducted to exploit
EGO/GROOM momentum ?
• GROOM @ EuroArgo and ESFRI :
– Which concrete glider work in relation with the EuroARGO ERIC ?
– What about an ESFRI trend toward a large Marine RI ?
