Research projects

EDMERP is a European directory of research projects relating to the marine environment. It covers a wide range of disciplines including marine meteorology; physical, chemical and biological oceanography; sedimentology; marine biology and fisheries; environmental quality; coastal and estuarine studies; marine geology and geophysics, etc.

Research projects are catalogued in EDMERP as factsheets or abstracts with their most relevant aspects. The primary objective of EDMERP is to support users in identifying interesting research activities and in connecting them to involved research managers and project results like data, models, publications, etc. across Europe.

The BMDC is the Belgian member of the Sea-Search network that launched the EDMERP initiative on behalf of the European Union and act as the Belgian national collating centre. Institutes, research teams and scientists are encouraged to provide MUMM with information on their research projects or to create their own EDMERP entries according to the guidelines described on the Sea-Search website.
