CROSSMARE Project
Newsletter #1 | Project Launch Edition
Welcome to CROSSMARE
We are pleased to announce the launch of CROSSMARE (Advanced Cross-Border and Multi-Domain Interoperability Framework for Improved Collaborative Operational Efficiency for Secure Maritime Borders), an ambitious Horizon Europe Innovation Action funded by the European Union.
CROSSMARE aims to enhance maritime surveillance and border security by developing a next-generation, interoperable monitoring framework that integrates multiple domains, space, air, surface, and underwater, into a unified operational picture.
The project brings together 17 partners from across Europe, including industry leaders, research organisations, SMEs, and end-users, working collaboratively to address critical maritime security challenges such as:
- Irregular migration
- Illicit activities at sea
- Environmental threats and pollution
- Protection of critical maritime infrastructure
CROSSMARE runs from October 2025 to September 2028, with the goal of significantly improving cross-border cooperation and operational efficiency for maritime authorities.
What is CROSSMARE About?
CROSSMARE is a cutting-edge European research and innovation project that addresses one of the most critical challenges for Europe today: achieving effective, coordinated, and intelligent maritime surveillance across borders and domains.
Modern maritime security operations are increasingly complex, requiring authorities to monitor vast areas while responding to diverse and evolving threats. Existing systems often operate in silos, limiting the ability to share information and act collaboratively.
Kick-off Meeting
The CROSSMARE project officially started with a successful Kick-off Meeting, bringing together all consortium partners to align on objectives, structure, and next steps.
During the meeting, partners:
- Presented their roles and expertise
- Discussed the technical vision and work plan
- Established collaboration mechanisms and governance structure
- Defined the roadmap for the first phase of the project
This important milestone marked the beginning of a strong collaboration toward achieving CROSSMARE’s ambitious goals.
