The Industry Advisory Group for Marine Autonomous Systems (IAG-MAS)

  • What is the IAG-MAS ?

The Industry Advisory Group for Marine Autonomous Systems, IAG-MAS, brings together leaders from over 20 organizations that specialize in manufacturing marine autonomous platforms and marine sensors as well as maritime service providers. Our group unites professionals with considerable technical, commercial, and manufacturing expertise in the marine autonomous system space – from AUV fleet operators to marine surveyors to environmental monitoring data scientists and maritime security executives.

  • What is it for?

This advisory group will be gathered during the project duration to:

  • Build collaboration & trust between industrial & national/EU both scientific & technical stakeholders
  • Identify & advance priorities for innovation in developing new MAS (products & applications)
  • Share ideas about a cooperative framework between GERI providers and users
  • Who is part of it?

The IAG-MAS unites a diverse group of marine and maritime professionals to exchange our rich perspectives on industry’s needs as well as share our available assets and expertise. For more information on the members of the IAG-MAS, click here.

  • What are the expected outcomes?

The IAG-MAS workshops will produce a set of inter-related outcomes for the emerging research infrastructure.

  • To identify emerging applications relevant to MAS that need large scale coordination to be properly addressed
  • To identify and design a framework of cooperation between the private sector and the marine research infrastructures (here it is good to show that we are sharing with other like JERICO, EMSO, ...) with a focus on MAS
  • Feedbacks (on the designed framework) from the IAG-MAS/GROOM consortium will be communicated to the European Commission and national stakeholders in marine observation.
