With over 22 active EU-funded projects in progress, many focused on marine sustainability, biodiversity and ocean innovation, ERINN Innovation is proud to be at the forefront of ocean and waters-focused research. This is why we are especially excited to be exhibiting at European Maritime Day (EMD) 2025, taking place on home turf at Cork City Hall from May 21 to 23.
As an Irish-based team, it is a real privilege to be part of such a major European event happening on our shores. EMD is where Ocean Leaders meet, bringing together the people, projects and ideas shaping the future of our seas. We are looking forward to sharing the impactful work we are involved in and connecting with new partners who are just as passionate about making a difference.
Supporting Marine Projects with Real-World Impact
At ERINN Innovation, we specialise in helping research projects create real impact. From communication and outreach to stakeholder engagement, exploitation, knowledge management and more, we support our partners to ensure their work is seen, understood and used. Our goal is to turn great science into meaningful outcomes.
Many of our current projects focus on solving the big challenges facing our seas and coasts. Below you’ll find just some of the marine and coastal projects we’ll be highlighting at European Maritime Day.
Empowering Coastal Communities and Marine Governance
EmpowerUs is working directly with coastal communities to co-design inclusive and adaptive governance processes and tools that support sustainable coastal development, empower local voices, and build resilience.
A-AAgora helps regions in the Atlantic and Arctic accelerate the restoration of coastal and marine ecosystems, while improving climate resilience through cross-sectoral cooperation.
Prep4Blue built practical tools, methods and capacity to support the implementation of the EU Mission: Restore our Ocean and Waters, laying the groundwork for collaborative and mission-ready research.
Biodiversity Monitoring and Ecosystem Restoration
MARCO-BOLO is aiming to create a more connected, efficient and long-term approach to marine, coastal and freshwater biodiversity monitoring across Europe to better guide environmental policy and conservation.
Mission Atlantic maps and assesses Atlantic marine ecosystems. It considers climate change and human activities to support sustainable ocean management.
GUARDIAS is aiming to strengthen Europe’s response to Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in marine ecosystems through better detection, early warning systems and coordinated action.

Sustainable Aquaculture and Blue Biotechnology
Cure4Aqua supports co-creation of innovative health and welfare solutions to boost aquaculture sustainability and competitiveness across the EU.
MARBLES explores marine microbial biodiversity to develop disease-suppressive bioprotectants that benefit both aquaculture and crop protection.
AQUAEXCEL3.0 provides Aquaculture infrastructures for Excellence in European fish research.
BlueRemediomics is tapping into the marine microbiome to identify new sustainable biogenics and ecosystem services for health and industrial use.
XTREAM investigates extreme marine microbiomes to uncover novel bio-based solutions and technologies that can help advance the circular bioeconomy.
Climate Change, Pollution and Ocean Observation
SCORE aims to increase climate resilience in coastal cities by combining Nature-based Solutions, citizen science, and smart technologies through a novel Coastal City Living Lab framework.
AquaPLAN addresses light and noise pollution in aquatic environments and their impacts on biodiversity to support more informed management.
SURIMI is developing co-created, user-driven digital tools and scenario models for the Digital Twin Ocean to support better marine decision-making.
REMORA aims to transform outermost region marine institutes into competitive EU research leaders, creating a model for broader regional transformation.
Protecting Marine Life and Reducing Human Impacts
Marine Beacon works to eliminate bycatch of endangered and protected species in the Northeast Atlantic through better monitoring and mitigation strategies.
NETTAG+ helps to prevent, avoid and mitigate against harmful environmental impacts of fishing gear and associated marine litter.
