The ADRIPLAN consortium consists of a wide range of research institutes that are geographically  situated in the Adriatic – Ionian Macroregion. They have a broad general expertise in the research themes included in the proposal, as well as specific expertise in the areas where they are located.  

The project will be based on cross-border Institutional partners, as Regional Administrations from Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Greece (as partners) and other National Institutions and public bodies from EU and non EU states (as observers). They will play an important role with specific tasks in:
  1. Orienting the activities of elaboration of a MSP proposal for the Adriatic-Ionian Sea, collaborating in the definitions of needs, threats, conflicts and barriers with respect to maritime uses, as well as in identifying priorities and objectives;
  2. supporting data mining and data recovery activities;
  3. Acquiring the results of the project and evaluating the guidelines with respect to national and regional policies.
The technical partners will develop the activities under the steering, the supervision and the support of Institutional Partners and of an external Advisory Board. They will cover all the expertise involved, as well as the cross-bordering geographical scope of the project.
