A LifeWatch technical scientific workshop was successfully held between 3-5 June 2014 at the premises of the Hellenic Center for Marine Research in Crete (HCMR Crete). It was targeted to the development of a Marine Virtual Research Environment (VRE) in the framework of LifeWatch ESFRI. More than 30 participants, representing 7 countries and 14 institutes (see details here) convened to present their latest LifeWatch-relevant developments, discuss next steps and explore further collaborations. Consistent to HCMR's focus on the marine type of environments, emphasis was given in connecting the marine data systems and workflows through existing technologies and developments. In addition, LifeWatch related projects such as MicroB3, BioVel, MarineTLO, Polytraits, SOCIB, were also presented. The summary report for the Lifewatch technical workshop at Crete is available here.
