ATLANTIDA will develop a platform for the monitoring of the North Atlantic Ocean and tools for the sustainable exploitation of its marine resources.
This project is being implemented by a multidisciplinary team of the UNorte.pt consortium (University of Porto, University of Minho & University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro) and by CIIMAR (Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research).
ATLANTIDA will create a strong cohesion of the UNorte.pt institutions regarding Ocean Research and Technologies and develop the conditions for a leading position at national and international levels.
