At the end of 2015, an new version of the Compendium for Coast and Sea will be published. Currently, the coauthors are revising the thematic chapters and the secretariat is preparing new and updated products: a brochure overviewing the marine research groups, a vademecum on marine/maritime legislation, a guide on funding channels for projects dealing with marine research and innovation, and a catalogue on marine research infrastructure. Further, we are developing a new interactive Compendium website allowing the user to consult the information in an efficient way.
