{"projectrec":{"ProID":5113,"StandardTitle":"Blue Accelerator","OrigTitle":null,"Acronym":"BlueAccelerator","AbstractEnglish":"The Blue Accelerator project intends to develop living labs for testing in the marine environment. The main focus is on the creation of an offshore test site (incl. platform), off the coast of Ostend.","AbstractOtherLang":"Vlaanderen heeft met een voordelige ligging aan de Noordzee, een uitgebreide mariene expertise en een zich snel ontwikkelende blue energy sector, waaronder enkele wereldspelers alsook talrijke veelbelovende starters, de unieke kans zich te ontplooien tot een internationale koploper in de blauwe economie. Een tekort aan testfaciliteiten waar zowel wetenschappers als bedrijven onderzoek kunnen uitvoeren en innovatieve technologieën ontwikkelen is hiervoor echter een belangrijk struikelblok.\r\nOm hier een antwoord op te bieden wordt onder leiding van POM West-Vlaanderen binnen het Blue Accelerator project samen Universiteit Gent, Hogeschool Vives, VITO, VLIZ en TUA West, een maritiem innovatie- en ontwikkelingsplatform voorzien. Met dit ‘living lab’ richt het project zich specifiek op:\r\n  Het realiseren van een aanbod aan testfaciliteiten in on-, near- en offshore omgeving ten dienste van de wetenschap en de industrie o.m. via een aantal gerichte investeringen.\r\n    Het opzetten met de betrokken partners en de relevante overheden van een gemeenschappelijke omkadering voor de verschillende faciliteiten ter ondersteuning van gebruikers.\r\n    Het opzetten van een academisch gedreven innovatieprogramma gericht op het toepassen van drones in offshore omstandigheden.\r\n     Het realiseren van een ondersteunend open innovatieplatform blue energy gericht op het versterken van innovatie in de blue energy sector.\r\nAls onderdeel van dit project werd in de zomer van 2019 Research Tower 1 (RT1) op een halve kilometer voor de kust van Oostende geïnstalleerd. Deze installatie zal dienstdoen als nearshore testplatform waar VLIZ in zal staan voor het opmeten en beschikbaar stellen van omgevingsparameters. Daarnaast zal VLIZ ook technische en wetenschappelijke ondersteuning bieden bij het uitvoeren van testen en fungeren als een aanspreekpunt voor wetenschappelijke instellingen.","DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-04-22 13:38:53.494695","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2018,"EndYear":2021,"BMonth":5,"EMonth":4,"BeginMonth":"May","EndMonth":"April","OrigTitleLangCode":null,"OrigTitleLangID":null,"OrigTitleLangNL":null,"OrigTitleLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangCode":null,"OtherAbstractLangID":null,"OtherAbstractLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangNL":null,"Progress":"Completed","ProgressNL":"Afgelopen","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ND":"2021-03-10","UD":"2025-04-22","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":524265,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"VLIZ","ProPartID":17129,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Flanders Marine Institute","Line1":"VLIZ – InnovOcean Campus","Line2":"Jacobsenstraat 1","Line3":"8400 Oostende","Line4":null,"InsID":36,"FullStandardName":"Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee","Role":"Partner","RoleID":17,"EncAddress":"VLIZ – InnovOcean Campus, Jacobsenstraat 1, 8400 Oostende, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[{"Surname":"Cattrijsse","Firstname":"André","Initials":"A.","LeaderFlag":0,"PersID":128,"Role":null,"RoleID":null,"PastInstitute":0,"BeginDay":1,"BeginMonth":8,"BeginYear":2000,"EndDay":null,"EndMonth":null,"EndYear":null},{"Surname":"Pirlet","Firstname":"Hans","Initials":"H.","LeaderFlag":0,"PersID":16470,"Role":"Promotor","RoleID":8,"PastInstitute":0,"BeginDay":1,"BeginMonth":10,"BeginYear":2010,"EndDay":null,"EndMonth":null,"EndYear":null}],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"POM","ProPartID":17130,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":null,"OrigNameLangID":null,"FullOrigName":null,"Line1":null,"Line2":null,"Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":7059,"FullStandardName":"Provinciale Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij","Role":"Partner","RoleID":17,"EncAddress":""},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"VITO","ProPartID":17131,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Flemish Government;
