The table below presents a list of projects funded by the European Union through Horizon Europe (2021 – 2027) and its predecessor Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) research and innovation funding programmes. The projects contribute to different components of the global ocean observing value chain and can be filtered by EU4OceanObs target region and priority topics.
The list of projects is regularly updated. Please contact the EU4OceanObs team in case your project does not appear in the list.
