THESEUS

THESEUS (Innovative technologies for safer European coasts in a changing climate) is the largest Integrated Project within coastal risk assessment and mitigation funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme, and consists of 31 partner institutes. The project, started in December 2009 will develop in its four-year workplan a systematic approach to deliver both a low-risk coast for human use and healthy coastal habitats for evolving coastal zones subjected to multiple factors.

COWAMA

CoWaMa Project (Coastal Water Management) is co-funded by the EU programme INTERREG IIIA Adriatic Cross Border.
The project aims at studying the sea coastal ecosystem of Boka Bay in all its components (water, sediments and biota), investigating distribution and levels of the present polluting substances, as well as their long-term and short-term impact on this Bay, which is under UNESCO protection.

SUFALNET

SULFANET (Sustainable Use of Former and Abandoned Landfills Network) is a project funded by the INTERREG IIIC, and its main objective is to share information and experiences for increasing the efficiency and the effectiveness of regional policies concerning the regulation and the sustainable use of closed or abandoned dumps.
The city of Venice contributes to the project with the realization of the San Giuliano Urban Park. The new park is located in Mestre, and it constitutes a part of a larger plan on redeveloping the industrial area of Porto Marghera.
CORILA takes part to the project realizing the database as well as various publications. CORILA has also organized for the early 2006 a day on Sulfanet and the San Giuliano Urban Park.

SPICOSA

SPICOSA (Science and Policy Integration for Coastal System Assessment) is an IP-Integrated Project on the theme of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management – ICZM, financed by the funds of the EU 6th Framework Programme. It aims to create a self-evolving, operational research approach framework for the assessment of policy options for the sustainable management of coastal zone systems. SPICOSA contributed to the understanding of social interactions within coastal zone systems and how these impact the environment and future policies. It supported the implementation of existing EU Directives and ICZM good practices.

ENCORA

In all European coastal states many institutions are engaged in coastal and marine studies related to science, practice or policy. Together these institutions constitute a huge resource of knowledge and experience. The ENCORA Project aims to overcome existing fragmentation. Therefore a range of mechanisms will be developed to share knowledge and experience within and between the communities of coastal science, policy and practice.

GIS4EU

The GIS4EU project (Provision of interoperable datasets to open GI to EU communities) is co-funded by the eContentplus program of the European Commission and is coordinated by CORILA. The project involves more than twenty institutions from ten different European countries. This is the first project of eContentplus Programme coordinated by an Italian institution.
Aim of the project is the creation of an European GIS, providing and sharing basic cartographic data, to be accessible and interoperable (cross-border/scale/language) for aggregation purposes, according to the INSPIRE Directive.
