                      A ship in harbour is safe.
                     But that is not what ships are built for.

ERASMUS MARIS 
​A bottom-up initiative
 
ASE ​launched in the year 2018 a citizen science initiative  called ERASMUS MARIS
which aims to provide a framework for the design and run of EU-wide scientific studies co-created by teachers of upper secondary schools (age 15+) within the scope of preserving the marine environment.

The theme of microplastic pollution (MP) was chosen to be used as a proof of concept
We are now running the  second pilot project of the ERASMUS MARIS initiative !!! 
RAISE-CS: RAISing Education sails through Citizen Science
Picture
The Erasmus Maris is supported through a collaboration agreement with the
 European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).

One of the objectives is to implement ​quality control procedures to ensure valid and useful outcomes for the scientific community when monitoring microplastics pollution in aquatic environments.

Two pilot projects were launched so far to understand the challenges before replicating activities on a larger scale

First pilot: 2018-2020 : The Pedagogical Sailboat project 

Second pilot: 2022-2024 :  RAISE-CS: RAISing Education sails through Citizen Science
