15 Stage 1-preparatory phase First call for proposals Participants All the stakeholders necessary to make the projects a reality (notably Funding Agencies)

16 EMSO PP Proposal submitted on 2 nd May, 2007 Coordinator: INGV - Paolo Favali (Letter by Italian University & Research Ministry) Main objectives: To establish the governance entity for the EMSO infrastructure serving scientists and stakeholders in and outside Europe for long-term deep water observations and investigations. To enable the deployment of the infrastructure and its longterm management. To promote the catalytic process and synergic effort at EC and national levels, coordinating and harmonising all available resources.

21 EMSO deep-seafloor observatories will be deployed on specific sites around European waters, according to a list of key sites identified by ESONET NoE and forming a widely distributed pan-european infrastructure

22 EMSO will be integrated from regional infrastructures each based on sub-sea observatory sites (RLEs-Regional Legal Entities) all having a single coordination entity (CLE-Core Legal Entity), which will take part in the international endeavour in seafloor observatories. CORE LEGAL ENTITY (CLE) RLE1 RLE2. RLEn Regional REGIONAL Legal LEGAL ENTITIES Entities (RLE) (RLE)
