The need of the establishment of a marine renewables network within an academic cooperation

It is well known that our times require a high energy demand, resulting in an acute climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions, as well as that fossil fuels are limited and their amount started to be diminished. To cover worldwide energy consumption, mankind should focus on the more intensive use of renewable energy sources, which present a huge potential to ensure the energy supply in the long run. For an affordable renewable energy, it is expected to be seen a significant development of the specific technologies, nanotechnologies being strong contributors to a green energy supply. This paper is discussing about the establishment of a marine renewables network (MRNBSR), having 6 offices in maritime universities from countries that border the Black Sea: Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia and Turkey. This establishment aims to intensify the role that marine renewables can play in the energy system of coastline countries and also the facilitation of the integration of nanotechnologies into maritime renewables sector in the region, based on the reality that universities are centers of research and innovation. The new formed network will work as a coordinator of the will to increase the deployment of renewable energy use. Will be given the steps to be followed in the setting up of the network. After the establishment, in these offices will work personnel with specific tasks - which will be described in the paper.
