Through iMarine, we contribute to sustain a cost-effective 
exploitation of the underlying D4Science infrastructure, 
and its associated tools facilitating the sharing, retrieval, 
access, and collaborative production of information. 
We bring together stakeholders sharing data, information 
and multidisciplinary knowledge development tools, and 
facilitate a unified and effective 
Ecosystem Approach Community of Practice ”

benefits for all the Ecosystem Approach 
communities 
European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
Part 3 – strategic steps  funding needs

until at least 2016 
• Launching the iMarine Board - An instituted 
community Partnership 
– with core EA strategic partners 
• Services delivered to early adopter customers, 
invoiced for the development costs only 
• Manpower available through some current 
FAO and CNR framework contracts

Conclusion 
European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
Conclusion 
why is FAO engaged 
• FAO has launched global Blue Growth initiative 
 Encompasses EA, Food Security, Ecosystem Services 
 Increasing need for holistic evidence base 
 No one institution can serve these policy needs in isolation 
• iMarine appears the right answer to an obvious demand 
 Project was successful to create business link with community 
 3 to 4 opportunities for iMarine services each month 
 Developing software is not FAO’s mandate 
 FAO is not a funding institutions 
 FAO wants to build on EU’s know-how for offering global services 
• A sustainable platform is required 
European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
Conclusion 
Project results are very encouraging 
partners mindset set Momentum 
• iMarine will maintain baseline operations beyond 
project end 
• iMarine business model components will be finalized by 
end 2014 
• Call for strategic partners of iMarine advisory and 
steering Boards 
• Growth is the unique viable scenario for medium term 
 Funding support is required for growth 
 iMarine partners will work to raise various funding sources 
European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
Time for Open discussion 
Your opinion on the presented 
model is welcomed 
and some guiding questions: 
 What role can your organization play in this model 
 How to best organize community Governance structure 
 What is EC strategy for strengthening data infrastructure 
landscape? Distributed and modular vs centralized ? 
 What about a marketplace for data e-infrastructure where data 
services can be offered to a potentially broader spectrum of 
users
