The Baltic and North Sea Coordination and Support Action (BANOS CSA, 2018-2021)

The BANOS CSA prepared a framework in years 2018-2021 for a joint Baltic Sea and North Sea Research and Innovation Programme (BANOS). BANOS CSA was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 817574.

As the coordinating office of the BANOS CSA, BONUS EEIG, is now closed, the BANOS Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (BANOS SRIA) and the other 33 BANOS CSA deliverables are posted on this page for ease of access and use until end of 2026. This will ensure the carry-forward of all the BANOS CSA developments  as well as the legacy of the predecessor programme BONUS Art. 185.
