    {"projectrec":{"ProID":5609,"StandardTitle":"BlueActionBANOS","OrigTitle":null,"Acronym":"BAB","AbstractEnglish":"<p>As a project, BlueActionBANOS (BAB) mission is firmly aligned with the EU’s \"Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030\" initiative and the European Green Deal, and aims to deliver measurable contributions toward biodiversity conservation, pollution reduction, and the transition to a climate-neutral blue economy. As such BAB aims to facilitate the successful transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of the Mission Ocean, where solutions piloted in the early stages are scaled up and deployed across a broader spectrum. BAB will achieve this by providing targeted financial assistance, technical guidance, and strategic knowledge-sharing, equipping communities with the tools and resources they need to address complex environmental challenges and drive sustainable transformation at local, regional, and national levels.<br>To this end BlueActionBANOS (BAB)BAB will provide the following three different, interlinked types of support to Mission communities of actors within the Baltic and North Sea (BANOS) Lighthouse area:<br>- Offering financial support to at least 5 community-led pilot actions (CLAs), ranging from EUR 200,000 to EUR 2 million. These actions will focus on piloting innovative solutions that align with one or several interlinked Mission Ocean’s objectives, demonstrating measurable progress in areas such as pollution reduction, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable blue economy practices.<br>- In addition to these pilot actions, BAB will fund at least 20 projects to develop transition agendas (TAs) with grants of up to EUR 100,000 each. These TAs will serve as strategic roadmaps that outline how specific communities can advance toward Mission objectives and integrate these efforts with broader regional, national, and EU policies.<br>- Technical assistance will be provided by the BAB consortium, which will be tailored to the specific needs and context of each community of actors within the BANOS area, leveraging the collective expertise of the consortium and drawing on best practices and advances from the multitude of other European projects and initiatives related to the Mission Ocean.</p>","AbstractOtherLang":"<p>Als project is de missie van BlueActionBANOS (BAB) stevig afgestemd op het EU-initiatief “Herstel onze oceanen en wateren tegen 2030” en de Europese Green Deal, en heeft deze missie tot doel meetbare bijdragen te leveren aan het behoud van biodiversiteit, de vermindering van vervuiling en de overgang naar een klimaatneutrale blauwe economie. Als zodanig wil BAB de succesvolle overgang van Fase 1 naar Fase 2 van de Missie Oceaan faciliteren, waarbij oplossingen die in de eerste fasen zijn getest, worden opgeschaald en ingezet in een breder spectrum. BAB zal dit bereiken door het verstrekken van gerichte financiële hulp, technische begeleiding en het delen van strategische kennis, door gemeenschappen uit te rusten met de instrumenten en middelen die ze nodig hebben om complexe milieu-uitdagingen aan te pakken en duurzame transformatie op lokaal, regionaal en nationaal niveau te stimuleren.<br>Daartoe zal BlueActionBANOS (BAB) de volgende drie verschillende, onderling verbonden soorten steun verlenen aan missiegemeenschappen van actoren binnen het vuurtorengebied van de Oostzee en de Noordzee (BANOS):<br>- Het bieden van financiële steun aan ten minste 5 door de gemeenschap geleide proefacties (CLA's), variërend van 200.000 euro tot 2 miljoen euro. Deze acties zullen gericht zijn op het uittesten van innovatieve oplossingen die aansluiten bij een of meer onderling verbonden doelstellingen van Mission Ocean, waarbij meetbare vooruitgang wordt aangetoond op gebieden zoals de vermindering van de verontreiniging, het herstel van ecosystemen en duurzame praktijken van de blauwe economie.<br>- Naast deze pilootacties zal BAB minstens 20 projecten financieren om transitieagenda's (TA's) te ontwikkelen met subsidies tot 100.000 euro elk. Deze TA's zullen dienen als strategische routekaarten die aangeven hoe specifieke gemeenschappen vooruitgang kunnen boeken in de richting van de doelstellingen van de missie en deze inspanningen kunnen integreren in het bredere regionale, nationale en EU-beleid.<br>- De technische bijstand zal worden verleend door het BAB-consortium, dat zal worden afgestemd op de specifieke behoeften en context van elke gemeenschap van actoren binnen het BANOS-gebied, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van de collectieve expertise van het consortium en wordt geput uit de beste praktijken en vorderingen uit de vele andere Europese projecten en initiatieven in verband met de oceaan van de missie.</p>","DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-18 10:51:25.568088","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2025,"EndYear":2029,"BMonth":9,"EMonth":8,"BeginMonth":"September","EndMonth":"August","OrigTitleLangCode":null,"OrigTitleLangID":null,"OrigTitleLangNL":null,"OrigTitleLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangCode":"nl","OtherAbstractLangID":41,"OtherAbstractLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","Progress":"In Progress","ProgressNL":"Gestart","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":1,"ND":"2026-06-18","UD":"2026-06-18","DMPFlag":1,"Budget":12499806,"BudgetCurrency":null},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"VLIZ","ProPartID":20035,"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":null,"RoleID":null,"EncAddress":"VLIZ – InnovOcean Campus, Jacobsenstraat 1, 8400 Oostende, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[{"Surname":"Lescroart","Firstname":"Jonas","Initials":"J.","LeaderFlag":0,"PersID":37467,"Role":"Co-ordinator","RoleID":7,"PastInstitute":0,"BeginDay":15,"BeginMonth":2,"BeginYear":2025,"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":"SUB","ProPartID":20036,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":null,"OrigNameLangID":null,"FullOrigName":null,"Line1":null,"Line2":null,"Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":15249,"FullStandardName":"Submariner Network for Blue Growth","Role":null,"RoleID":null,"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":null,"ProPartID":20037,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":null,"OrigNameLangID":null,"FullOrigName":null,"Line1":"Incubatiecentrum GreenBridge","Line2":"Wetenschapspark 1","Line3":"8400 Oostende","Line4":null,"InsID":14140,"FullStandardName":"De Blauwe Cluster vzw","Role":null,"RoleID":null,"EncAddress":"Incubatiecentrum GreenBridge, Wetenschapspark 1, 8400 Oostende, Belgium"},"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}],"refs":null,"urls":null,"thesterms":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"Biodiversity","ThestID":9471,"ThesTypID":1,"ThesType":"ASFA Thesaurus List","OrigThesTerm":"Biodiversity","DutchTerm":"Biodiversiteit","Code":"c_33949"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Environmental pollution","ThestID":2812,"ThesTypID":1,"ThesType":"ASFA Thesaurus List","OrigThesTerm":"Environmental pollution","DutchTerm":"Milieuvervuiling","Code":null},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Marine pollution","ThestID":179132,"ThesTypID":23,"ThesType":"Flemish Research Disciplines","OrigThesTerm":"Marine pollution","DutchTerm":"Mariene vervuiling","Code":"01050505"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"PRINC_FUND -
