In response to serious global concerns about the declining health of our oceans, an €8.96 million Horizon 2020 funded project due to start in 2021 represents a significant EU investment that directly supports attainment of targets for a cleaner, quieter maritime sector. Named SATURN, this project initiative is led by MaREI, Science Foundation Ireland’s Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine, hosted by University College Cork, and involves a large consortium of EU participants. JASCO Applied Sciences (Deutschland) GmbH, the EU based member company of the namesake global group, is one of the partners in the consortium and the lead organization for one of the project’s work packages.
