The Third General Assembly Meeting of I-SEAMORE Project

The I-SEAMORE project reached a significant milestone with the successful conclusion of its third General Assembly Meeting, held in The Hague in the Netherlands on the 5th and 6th of November, 2024. The meeting brought the entire consortium together for two days of fruitful discussions and planning. The primary objectives of the General Assembly Meeting reflected the diverse aspects of the project’s development:

• Report progress and address challenges: consortium members reported on the progress made within the project thus far and engaged in discussions to address existing and anticipated challenges;
• Set next steps: deliberations focused on setting the course for the next phase of the project, outlining detailed action plans for the upcoming months;
• Preparation for testing and demonstration activities: anticipating the need for testing and demonstration activities, technical partners discussed and planned for necessary preparations;
• Coordination and administration: updates on coordination and administrative matters were provided, along with necessary actions to streamline processes and ensure effective project management.

Consortium members actively participated in discussions and brainstorming to address critical aspects of the project.

The second day featured a workshop – organized by INI-Novation GmbH – dedicated to intellectual property (IP) strategies. Technical partners presented elements of I-SEAMORE’s technical architecture to an invited external IP expert to discuss potential IP protection and IP valorization measures. This session provided insights into maximizing the project’s impact through effective IP management and commercialization avenues.

As the I-SEAMORE project progresses towards its conclusion in 2025, the outcomes of this third General Assembly Meeting serve as a foundation for continued collaboration and progress. With a clear roadmap in place and a shared commitment to excellence, the consortium remains together to achieve its objectives and deliver impactful results in the realm of maritime surveillance and operations.
