The National Research Council – Institute of Marine Sciences coordinates LIFE-MAPPER. It leads on habitat mapping, ecological condition assessment, and integrates methodologies to support EU directives and marine spatial planning
The Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research ensures scientific and technical input for policy alignment. It develops indicators, criteria, and thresholds for habitat condition and favourable reference areas.
UNIVPM provides advanced research on marine ecosystems and ecological connectivity. It plays a key role in evaluating restoration strategies, cost assessments, and long-term ecological impacts.
UniNa contributes strong expertise in marine ecology, biodiversity, and monitoring. It develops methodologies for habitat condition assessments and supports the design of effective restoration protocols.
UAEGEAN specializes in marine spatial planning, geoinformatics, and data analysis. It supports spatial prioritization frameworks and systematic reviews for mapping and restoration planning.
UOG contributes expertise in restoration science and socio-ecological research. It leads work on cost-effectiveness analysis of restoration measures and the upscaling of marine restoration practices.
SPACE42 brings innovation in digital platforms, web technologies, and knowledge-sharing tools. It develops the LIFE-MAPPER Knowledge Platform and GeoPortal, ensuring user-friendly access to data, maps, and project resources.
