Pioneering environmental monitoring platform to transform the future of the Black Sea
A cutting-edge data platform designed to monitor, understand, and address the environmental challenges facing the Black Sea is one of several outcomes from a €9 million, European Commission-funded research and innovation project that will help the region thrive for years to come.
The Black Sea ‘System of Systems’ platform brings together, in one place, a unique combination of information that can help provide a better understanding of the detail around different challenges facing the Sea and its ecosystems – empowering everyone from researchers, industry and communities to respond.
The System was designed and built by researchers leading the Developing Optimal and Open Research Support for the Black Sea (DOORS) project, a four-year collaboration between 35 institutions across 15 countries linking science, policy and industry to support critical Black Sea regeneration.
As a one-stop-shop for data, the ‘System of Systems’ enables users including conservationists and businesses to identify pollution hotspots, develop improved nutrient management strategies, and engage stakeholders in reducing harmful inputs to rivers and the sea, such as pesticides and microplastics.
Professor Adrian Stanica, Coordinator of the H2020 DOORS Black Sea project, said: “The Black Sea was once regarded as the most polluted sea in Europe, due to decades of pollution, overfishing and the arrival of invasive species. Now, climate change and new pollutants risk jeopardising its fragile recovery.
“That’s why the DOORS project has developed tools to support the Black Sea region, and international community, to better understand and protect this vital resource, empowering policymakers and industry to take informed decisions, and stimulating businesses and citizens to embrace more sustainable ways of working”.
Alongside developing the System of Systems, the project worked across the region to support the development of a Blue Economy on and around the Black Sea: where marine and coastal resources are used sustainably to support economic prosperity. Partners in the consortium worked with businesses and entrepreneurs across the region to accelerate promising economic opportunities, while a dedicated working group championed these innovative prospects to a community of international investors.
The DOORS project also prioritised bringing the Black Sea closer to the 16 million people living around its 4,200km-long coastline through a combination of citizen science and ocean literacy initiatives, helping young people and communities to understand the Black Sea’s ecosystems and environment on their doorstep.
The project has also invested in training the next generation of researchers, through postgraduate programmes and hands-on experience on board research vessels, ensuring the groundwork is laid for future scientific exploration and stewardship.

DOORS Showcases Impact to European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation
Representatives from the H2020 DOORS project had the privilege of meeting with European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva. The meeting served as a valuable opportunity to present the project’s wide-ranging achievements - from data harmonisation and the development of a System of Systems as precursory of a Digital Twin for the Black Sea - to the Blue Growth Accelerator - to Knowledge Transfer and Training and dynamic community engagement efforts.
The discussion highlighted how the new, unique and extensive knowledge generated by the H2020 DOORS project is meeting the aspiration of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for the Black Sea and supporting the region’s Blue Economy.
We have our first working beta version of the DOORS #SystemOfSystems created by the brilliant Brockmann Consult.
This platform will be a one-stop-shop for scientific data and intelligence on the #BlackSea helping to support interventions, blue growth opportunities and skills development across the region. Check out the demo!
