Discover the content of the session: "Esprit de Velox: one small step for seaman, one giant leap for mankind’s maritime impact"
- Endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science, Esprit de Velox is a Responsible Research and Innovation programme that crosses the scientific world’s requirement and the vision carried out by the companies engaged in the maritime ecological transition.
> 30 crucial years for climate and biodiversity,
> Emerging of the Ocean's key role in the metamorphosis of the Earth system,
> Shared need for an exemplary scientific presence at sea,
> Need to collect clean data and produce interdisciplinary knowledge from the vessel itself.
These are both the observations and ambitions that are guiding an extraordinary path to the 70-metre ocean-going, positive impact vessel, designed to embark 50 people on board for transdisciplinary research campaigns from pole to pole, on the front line of climate and biodiversity.
