LifeWatch marine technical meeting held in Crete

As an outcome of the 2nd LifeWatch e-Infrastructure Construction Operational Meeting in Granada earlier this year, a LifeWatch - marine meeting was organized from 3rd-5th of June at the Hellenic Centre of Marine Research in Crete. The meeting was attended by participants of regional LifeWatch projects in Spain, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Belgium and the EU funded projects BIOVEL, MicroB3, VIBRANT and EMODNet.

During this productive and successful event foundations were laid for the creation of a marine virtual research environment (VRE) as part of LifeWatch. Following a series of highly relevant presentations each describing valuable components that could contribute to this research environment, a discussion was organized formulating a bottom-up approach to the creation of a marine VRE.

Micro B3 was represented by Renzo Kottmann.
