European Council for Maritime Applied Research and Development Association

The ECMAR Association was formed in April 2007, although it can trace its origins back to June 1955 when the first meeting of the International Cooperation in Ship Research (ICSR) took place in London at the initiative of the British Shipbuilding Research Association (BSRA). ICSR changed its name to ECMAR in 1989
The new ECMAR Association, formed in 2007, has 25 member organisations in 15 European Countries, representing all the major European major institutes in the Maritime Applied Research Sector. The founding members of the ECMAR Association were BMT Group, CETENA, CMT, FORCE, HSVA, MARIN, MARINTEK, SIREHNA, SSPA and VTT.
The major objectives of ECMAR include: promoting interest within European Maritime Applied Research and Development organisations, developing a European maritime R&D strategy, enhancing cooperation between members by (virtual) networks and by organising conferences and workshops, and coordinating studies and activities to promote maritime applied R&D.
