MERION THEMES AND RESEARCH AREAS
“
MERiON projects are divided into three main clusters.
MERiON projects are divided into three main clusters: 1) future operations, 2) future structures and materials, and 3) future maritime technologies.
The goal is to develop cruise ship concepts for the coming decades and to study floating structures that can be integrated into ships’ operating environments, allowing certain functions to be transferred from cruise ships to floating infrastructure.
“ In MERiON, we develop technologies that respond both to increasingly stringent environmental requirements and to the needs of a rapidly changing business environment. Our research will focus particularly on circular economy solutions, digitalisation, structural design, clean energy solutions, and net zero materials,” Degerman explains.
ECOSYSTEM COLLABORATION AT THE CORE OF THE PROGRAM
The MERiON program is carried out in close collaboration with companies, universities, and research institutes. The aim of this cooperation is to strengthen the capabilities and global competitiveness of the entire ecosystem. Over the lifetime of the program, MERiON will increase the combined RDI investments of Meyer Turku and its ecosystem partners by up to EUR 85 million.
“ Meyer Turku already has a strong and well-functioning partner network, but MERiON enables us to expand the ecosystem into new technology and competence areas,” Degerman adds.
The MERiON program is managed by the GT Lab, Meyer Turku’ s open innovation unit. n
