Partners in a new project, MarLEN, of which MSE International is one of the UK partners, met in Brussels in February 2025 for their kick-off meeting with the Project Officer, Policy Officer and other international consortium members.

The meeting was a productive session with constructive discussions on the consortium agreement, first funding calls and evaluation procedures.

What is MarLEN?

Led by Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Maritime Low Emission Network (MarLEN) is a collaboration of European ministries and funding organisations responsible for maritime technology research funding. The project is funded by the European Commission through HorizonEurope, and the project goal is to strengthen the European Research Area by coordinating national and regional maritime research programs, fostering synergies, and aligning with the Zero Emission Waterborne Transport (ZEWT) partnership.

The project duration is from January 2025 to June 2029.

MSE International will keep subscribers informed of the progress of the project as well as funding information and events and activities.
