The ASSEMBLE Plus EU Horizon 2020-funded project provided scientists from academia, industry, and policy with access to over 30 marine installations in 16 countries. Through the specific supported initiatives, ASSEMBLE Plus stimulated fundamental and applied research in marine biology and ecology.
Now, after five successful years, the project has closed and the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) will continue the work and to support the project goals, including producing open access data to support further research and advocating for the importance of applying FAIR data principles to all marine research.
