TEAMFORADRIS

IPA ADRION 1st Call for Proposals​

2. Supporting a greener and climate resilient Adriatic-Ionian region

TEAMFORADRIS is an initiative of ten partners (MoCV, WINGS, UniSA, ACSD, ASD, LUM, UniTH, BSOL, YSEA, PLAT) and several Associated partners, from four European countries (Italy, Greece, Croatia, Slovenia) and three IPA countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro). The project aims to identify the main solutions to mussel and Posidonia mortality. In particular, it will determine the primary human, environmental and natural causes leading to mussel mortality in the Adriatic-Ionian Sea, with a complementary focus on Posidonia Oceanica, which, according to research, has common causes leading to its extinction. TEAMFORADRIS will also be committed to realising a digital toolkit consisting of the “ADRION” platform, a mobile app and a technological dashboard. This digital toolkit will help mussel farmers to learn what solutions to implement to produce and harvest mussels without compromising their survival. In addition, TEAMFORADRIS will come up with a set of environmental indicators measuring the environmental performance of the plants so that each producer can monitor his sustainable performance instantly.

TEAMFORADRIS je inicijativa deset partnera (MoCV, WINGS, UniSA, ACSD, ASD, LUM, UniTH, BSOL, YSEA, PLAT) i nekoliko pridruženih partnera iz četiri europske zemlje (Italija, Grčka, Hrvatska, Slovenija) i tri IPA zemlje (Albanija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Crna Gora). Projekt ima za cilj identificirati glavna rješenja za smrtnost dagnji i posidonije. Konkretno, utvrdit će primarne ljudske, okolišne i prirodne uzroke koji dovode do smrtnosti dagnji u Jadransko-jonskom moru, s komplementarnim fokusom na Posidonia oceanica, za koju, prema istraživanjima, postoje zajednički uzroci koji dovode do njezina izumiranja. TEAMFORADRIS će također biti posvećen realizaciji digitalnog alata koji se sastoji od platforme “ADRION”, mobilne aplikacije i tehnološke nadzorne ploče. Ovaj digitalni alat pomoći će uzgajivačima dagnji da nauče koja rješenja primijeniti za proizvodnju i berbu dagnji bez ugrožavanja njihovog opstanka. Osim toga, TEAMFORADRIS će osmisliti skup ekoloških pokazatelja za mjerenje ekološke učinkovitosti uzgajališta, kako bi svaki proizvođač mogao odmah pratiti svoju održivu učinkovitost.

Development of the Autonomous Vertical Water Profiling System

A-VWPS focuses on the development of an autonomous vertical water profiling system designed for the blue economy sector, marine research, aquaculture, ports, marinas, protected marine areas, and institutions responsible for coastal and marine environmental monitoring.

The project aims to develop, integrate, test, and prepare for the market a modular and cost-effective solution for continuous monitoring of the water column. The system will enable automated measurement of key parameters such as temperature, salinity, turbidity, chlorophyll, and dissolved organic matter.

Unlike conventional periodic CTD measurements or fixed-depth probes, the A-VWPS system is designed for simple installation on coastal structures, pontoons, or existing infrastructure, allowing more reliable and accessible monitoring of changes in marine and karst water systems.

The project is implemented through cross-border cooperation between three micro-enterprises from Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, each contributing complementary expertise in system integration, electronics, software, and mechanical engineering.
