AMRIT (Advance Marine Research Infrastructures Together) will provide a catalyst for the development and consolidation of marine research infrastructures throughout Europe, including coordination of planning, operations and data management. The project will contribute significantly to the development of the European Ocean Observing System (EOOS), including the design and implementation an Technical Support Center (EOOS TSC) that will sustain the tools and services developed by AMRIT into the future. AMRIT aims to be a cornerstone in establishing and maintaining the EOOS, upon which European ocean observing can be strengthened in the coming decades
