GSTP’s role in SUBMARINER

In the SUBMARINER project GSTP worked in close collaboration with the Maritime Institute in Gdańsk and associated organizations from Poland in the development of a roadmap for Polish coastal regions based on the potential implementation of the highest recommended innovative marine uses. As a centre for innovations, we provided connections to the local business sector and to economic advisors who can assist with the elaboration of assessments and recommendations on the socio-economic aspects of these new uses and their potential local implementation. GSTP also provided advice and expertise on bio-technological aspects of the project. To date, we have suceeded in the commercialization of many scientific ideas. We will oversee a successful future implementation of the outcomes of the SUBMARINER project in Poland.
