The project brings together an international and inter-disciplinary team with expertise in marine environment monitoring and assessment (MUMM, HWU/ICIT), in data processing and information technologies (CNRS/I3S, IST/ISR) and in AUV's positioning and deployment.
The partners have already conducted joint research programmes (at least two by two). They have gained a good professional knowledge of each other as well as a mutual confidence and appreciation. This guarantees a smooth execution of the present project.
