Interview Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn
On June 20th 2013, the European Commissioner for Research and Innovation, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, was interviewed by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) on behalf of the MERMAID project.
The Commissioner highlighted the contribution of the MERMAID project to the development of a thriving maritime economy, in an environmentally sustainable manner. Furthermore, Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn stressed the importance of the smart use of marine space and making offshore platforms economically viable. The Commissioner highly appreciated the multidisciplinary approach of the MERMAID project, as well as the interaction with partners from industry and stakeholders.
The interview will be incorporated in the MERMAID dissemination movie (due at the end of 2013) and will undoubtedly add to the strategic importance of the MERMAID concept.
