Opis projekta

Projekt ECCENTRIC provodi se u okviru Interreg programa Italija – Hrvatska s ciljem jačanja suradnje akademske zajednice te malih i srednjih poduzeća koja djeluju u sektorima plave ekonomije u nastajanju, poput energije, nadzora i infrastrukture.

Projekt obuhvaća tri ključna područja djelovanja:

• Pomorska obnovljiva energija u nastajanju, koja uključuje plutajući pučinski vjetar, energiju valova i plime i oseke te plutajuću solarnu fotonaponsku energiju
• Pomorska obrana, sigurnost i nadzor, kroz razvoj integriranih sustava pomorskih senzora, softvera i platformi, uključujući površinska, podvodna i zračna vozila
• Infrastruktura, s naglaskom na podmorske kabele, pomorsku tehnologiju i robotiku za digitalizaciju plavog gospodarstva

Rezultati projekta imat će izravne i vertikalne koristi za uključene dionike, mala i srednja poduzeća te visokoškolske i istraživačke organizacije, kroz stvaranje prekogranične zajednice istraživača i tehnologije koja će podržavati hrvatska i talijanska poduzeća. Projekt će pridonijeti povećanju inovativnosti, jačanju kapaciteta za privlačenje ulaganja te promicanju održivosti jadranskog područja.

Project description

The ECCENTRIC project is implemented within the Interreg Italy–Croatia programme, with the aim of strengthening cooperation between academia and small and medium-sized enterprises operating in emerging blue economy sectors, such as energy, monitoring and infrastructure.

The project focuses on three main thematic areas:

• Emerging maritime renewable energy, including floating offshore wind, wave and tidal energy, and floating solar photovoltaic energy
• Maritime defence, security and surveillance, through the development of integrated systems of maritime sensors, software and platforms, including surface, underwater and aerial vehicles
• Infrastructure, focusing on subsea cables, marine technologies and robotics for the digitalisation of the blue economy

Project results will generate direct and tangible benefits for the involved stakeholders, SMEs and higher education and research organisations, while creating a cross-border community of researchers and technologies supporting Croatian and Italian SMEs. The project will contribute to increasing innovation capacity, attracting investments and promoting sustainability in the Adriatic region.
