PLOME Activities

Last week, the annual Fisheries Science Seminar, organized by the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) in Brussels, brought together experts and researchers in the field of AI applied to fisheries management. Ivan Masmitjana, a member of the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM), was invited to present research focused on the application of AI algorithms for analyzing […]

One of the main objectives of the PLOME project is to demonstrate that the technologies developed are capable of operating over long periods of time while performing monitoring tasks. Among the most complex challenges is the deployment of underwater vehicles that can autonomously remain on the seabed, carrying out monitoring operations (ICM-CSIC). To achieve this,

European Marine Robotics and Applications Workshop (EMRA) is an interdisciplinary workshop where the main EU funded projects in the field of marine robotics are invited to present their latest developments. The goal of the workshop is to generate cross-fertilisation of ideas in marine robotics, enabling technologies and applications with the aim of generating new collaborations

On May 16-17, the Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology (KIOST) in Busan hosted the First Korea-Spain Oceanographic Symposium. This initiative focused on advancing technologies and methodologies for monitoring marine protected areas. Spanish research activities in the framework of funded EU and national projects such as DIGI4ECO, LIFE-ECOREST and PLOME were presented. This activity

From 12-14/03/2024 IQUA robotics participated in the Oceanology International trade fair in London (UK). It is the leading forum to connect with the world’s marine science and ocean technology communities in Europe. This is an important meeting point to showcast innovative technologies and approaches to scientific problems. We took this opportunity to present #PLOMEproject and

The blue economy is a relatively recent concept that we could define as the economy that recognizes the importance of the seas and oceans as drivers of the economy due to their great potential for innovation and growth.  This year, PLOME members participated in one activity organized in Catalonia called the “Blue Economy Marketplace”.
