Summary
Eurofleets is a Pan-European research infrastructure (established as an AISBL in May 2025) that provides transnational access (TNA) to an integrated fleet of research vessels across Europe. Originally funded under the EU's Horizon 2020 programme (grant agreement No 824077), it has transitioned into a permanent organization. The specific page analyzed is a partner profile for the Faroe Marine Research Institute (HAVSTOVAN), which contributes its research vessel RV Magnus Heinason to the Eurofleets fleet. The program operates three access schemes: the SEA Programme for full ship-time access to ocean and regional vessels, the Co-PI Programme for early-career researchers to join scheduled cruises, and the RTA Programme for remote access to samples and data. Access covers the Mediterranean, Baltic, North Atlantic, and Southern Ocean regions. Funding covers vessel use, crew, fuel, operating costs, travel expenses, and equipment transport. Eligibility is broad — European and international researchers from academia and industry can apply. Early-career researchers, industry partners, and female researchers are particularly encouraged. Currently no open calls are listed on the website, though the infrastructure continues to operate as a permanent organization. The Faroe Marine Research Institute specifically offers access to its vessel in July, September-October, and November-January periods for research in the Norwegian Sea and North Atlantic.
Historical Context
Eurofleets+ was funded under EU Horizon 2020 (grant agreement No 824077). The organization transitioned to a permanent AISBL (international non-profit association) launched in May 2025. A Third General Assembly was held in October 2025. Founding institutions include CNR (Italy), Ifremer (France), the Marine Institute (Ireland), and RBINS (Belgium).
