EMSOEMSO is a Research Infrastructure of the ESFRI RoadmapIt is a distributed infrastructure based on a European network of fixed seafloor and water column observatories
Present state of implementation: Present state of implementation: EMSO Preparatory PhaseEMSO Preparatory Phase
Four-years project participated by 12 countries, started in April 2008 with the aim to design and create the legal entity in charge of the infrastructure
