The European Joint Programming Initiative Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans (JPI Oceans) is a 
coordinating and integrating platform, open to all EU Member States and Associated Countries who 
invest in marine and maritime research. In its role as a coordination platform JPI Oceans is the only 
high-level strategic body that exists, to provide a long-term integrated approach to marine and 
maritime research and technology development in Europe. 
 
While bringing together the interested Member States and Associated Countries JPI Oceans aims to 
add value by avoiding fragmentation and unnecessary duplication; planning common and flexible 
initiatives; facilitating cooperation and foresighting; and establishing efficient mechanisms for 
interaction and knowledge transfer between the scientific community, industry & services, and 
policy makers at high level to more effectively solve the grand challenges. 
 
As a coordination platform, JPI Oceans focuses on making better and more efficient use of national 
research budgets, which represent 85% of the marine-maritime funding within Europe. One of the JPI 
goals is to develop joint research programs in which countries can be involved on a voluntary basis 
(variable geometry). Participating countries will also decide what contribution to make: this may 
include institutional, project-related or new funds. 
 
JPI Oceans is run by a high-level Management Board with representatives from each country with 
sufficient authority to agree on joint action plans and potential funding initiatives across all sea 
basins in Europe. 
 
The Management Board has put in place a Strategic Advisory Board of high-ranked  representatives 
from science, industry, public authorities and civil society to advise on future actions to be taken. 
 
The daily follow up of the JPI is taken care of by the JPI Oceans secretariat which is based in Brussels
