MSE attends ‘Forum Do Mar’ Porto, Portugal
Between 10 and 12 May MSE maintained a booth at the 2nd 'Forum Do Mar' in Portugal. The event was a good opportunity for MSE to promote its own activities and the wider capabilities of the SE UK regional marine sector to an international audience of professionals, scientists, policy makers and the general public.
As a maritime nation the Portuguese government recognises the importance of the European marine sector, demonstrated by a half-day visit to the Forum Do Mar by Aníbal Cavaco Silva, President of the Portuguese Republic.
The exhibition and conference was co-organised by Oceano XXI, the Portuguese national marine sector cluster. Oceano XXI are partners in 'REMCap' (Resource Efficient Maritime Capacity) a new MSE co-ordinated project due to start in November 2012, subject to contract negotiations.
REMCap is to be funded by the European Commission to facilitate interaction and knowledge exchange between 'Regional Research Driven Clusters' (RRDCs). Key actions will generate a shared approach to innovation, stimulate wider involvement of companies and supply chains and engage with other centres of maritime expertise.
