The total public funding was 4265799 €. D 6.3.1 This DL was delayed due to the delay in opening the Seas‐Era calls caused by the difficulties on fixing budgets and developing a strategy to overcome the shortcomings of the actual economic situation. According to the objectives of task 6.3 and considering the potential involvement and fund earmarking for the proposed Joint Calls, it was agreed to combine the Mediterranean and Atlantic calls, whilst the Black Sea call was proposed to be held with the Pan‐European due to the lack of critical mass for a joint call. The selected topics were: A ‐ Ecosystem approach and ecosystem models for the North Atlantic Ocean 3 B ‐ Risk assessment of invasive alien species ‐ changes in marine biodiversity C ‐ Development of indicators and science support and management tools for the determination of Good Environmental Status in the Mediterranean Sea The members who signed the Memorandum of Understanding formed the Joint Management Committee (JMC) and MINECO the Call Secretariat. The summary of partial budgets was 4.4 M€ and not all participants funded the same topics (see Table 1 below available at Call for proposals (http://www.seas‐era.eu/np4/210.html). Trans‐regional cooperation was highly encouraged, in particular in topics A and C, i.e. through comparative studies between the different regional approaches, comparison of methodologies and the transfer of knowledge between both regions, etc.. The call managed by MINECO with the support of FCT, had a deadline of May 24th 2012. The protocols and documents were loaded in an on‐line application Electronic Submission System (ESS) used to manage all the call procedure. Nine assessment criteria were used to evaluate the proposals as described in the Call for proposals. Scientific quality was considered above all other criteria and a high quality is a prerequisite for funding. Transnational added value was the value resulting from the transnational research project, which is additional to the value of national research projects. Table 1. Seas‐Era call characteristics. Country* Funding Partner Indicative budget € Belgium BELSPO 500.000 for all topics* France ANR 1.200.000 for all topics Greece GSRT 800.000 for all topics Iceland RANNIS 250.000 for topics A and B* Norway RCN 750.000 for all topics* Portugal FCT 300.000 for all topics Turkey TUBITAK 600.000 for topic C *BELSPO and RCN will only fund proposals if the studies include the Atlantic. RANNIS will do the same for topic B. The call was launched from 30th March until 24th May 2012. There were 12 submitted applications, evaluated by 24 independent international evaluators (minimum 3 evaluators per proposal) and none of them was from countries participating in the call (http://www.seas‐era.eu/np4/20.html) (Table 2). After the evaluation process during June‐August, the JMC made the final decision at a meeting on 13th September 2012. Five proposals were selected to be funded (two proposals from topic A, one from topic B and two proposals from topic C) involving total public funding of around 4.26M €. More information about these approved projects is available on the SEAS‐ERA website (http://www.seas‐era.eu/np4/20.html). 4 The funded projects are finishing after the end of SEAS‐ERA. To follow up the start of the Projects a workshop on October 2013 will be organized jointly with the projects funded in other ERA‐Nets (Marifish, MarinERA, AMPERA) to be held at MINECO (Madrid, Spain).
