      Success stories


        Montenegro dives into home grown underwater science

Subsea sensor networks are critical for oceanographic data collection, 
archaeology, pollution monitoring and maritime security. Developing 
these systems is demanding, and requires specialist expertise and 
advanced infrastructure. The EU-funded MONUSEN project helped 
researchers in Montenegro expand their knowledge and upgrade equipment, 
increasing the nation’s capacity.
