KIMERAA
Knowledge transfer to Improve Marine Economy in Regions from the Atlantic Area.
The project aims to develop niches of economic excellence in the marine sector through the creation of bridges and links between specialist knowledge providers and firms engaged in maritime activity. To achieve this aim, it will be necessary to identify and develop channels for efficient knowledge transfer in the Atlantic Area regions, mobilizing and linking the different institutional actors that can support innovative firms in the Marine Economy.

The activities of management and coordination oversee the work of the KIMERAA project. These activities are related with the organisation of project meetings, project reports, administrative and financial management and implementation of the objectives and the specific activities as defined within the approved application
This activity is based around a study into the identification and analysis of actors and institutions that constitute innovation systems in Maritime Clusters and Marine Sciences in participating regions.
The objective is to create a common catalogue of `Competencies and Services` to facilitate the development of specific niches of excellence in the Maritime sector. The specific goal is to create an information web tool that can stimulate the efficient matching of demand and supply of innovation and knowledge-based services in the marine sector.
The main objective of this is to create linkages across the European Atlantic Area in the Marine Sector and facilitate the sharing and transfer of quality knowledge in marine science, stimulating co-operation and strengthening the contribution of maritime clusters and science to the economic, environmental and social development of the Atlantic Area.
The general objective of the "Catalogue of Competencies and Services" is to provide a web tool that collects relevant geo-referenced information of companies, research centers and other relevant stakeholders in the field of marine sciences and maritime clusters in the Atlantic Area. The directory focuses economic activities, in particular branches of the maritime cluster, pointing directly to the potential demand from companies to collaboration.
This activity is dedicated to Communication and Dissemination tasks. Actions carried out under this component are aimed at the dissemination of KIMERAA's activities and achievements to relevant stakeholders in Europe.
