BRIDGES kick-off meeting was held in Paris on April 21 and 22th.
BRIDGES, a four year-long project bringing together research partners from 9 countries, will improve the unique European underwater glider SeaExplorer to adapt it to more diverse operations deeper in water. The glider, a rocket-shaped vehicle, is navigating autonomously in the ocean to collect a variety of data and report back to the ground station. The project’s team will use nearly €8 million EU funding to increase the glider’s sensing capacity and pilot its use for environmental monitoring, in oil and gas industry, as well as the deep sea mining industry.
BRIDGES is funded by the H2020 framework program under grant nb 635359.
