Description
The commitment presented is provided by the Finnish Marine Research Infrastructure, FINMARI, which integrates the national marine service providers across research disciplines, and enables internationally cutting-edge marine science to address the issues facing marine ecosystems globally.
FINMARI is a key asset for Finnish marine research, education and monitoring. It combines major partners of the Finnish marine research community into an interdisciplinary, integrated and distributed research infrastructure. FINMARI enables excellent science and research mobility by providing access to observational and experimental marine research facilities, and by connecting Finnish marine research to European marine research infrastructures.
FINMARI develops open access to data, data products and services. It facilitates the dialogue between science and policy makers in its focal themes: biodiversity loss, pollution, climate change, marine safety and security, and the green transition. The partner universities are responsible for marine university education in Finland. FINMARI has a broad impact on society beyond the scientific community.
The consortium operates research vessels, field stations and laboratories, automatic platforms and instruments, and platforms for research and surveillance of the marine environment, providing thus open access to the facilities and data.
In this commitment, FINMARI updates and develops its core RI to meet the future research challenges and support new scientific breakthroughs, to attract new talents, and to facilitate participation of Finnish marine scientists in new international projects and EU ESFRI networks. FINMARI increases its already broad impact beyond the scientific community and marine management and policy, by developing new services to companies of green transition, blue economy, and marine safety thereby facilitating collaboration in Research, Development and Innovation. FINMARI continues to develop open access to data, related services, and products. Specific new actions will be taken to open so-far “hidden” datasets, improve data flows of new technologies and facilitate overall national marine data coordination.
