WP4 concerns technological transfer. All the laboratories belonging to CINFAI, CNR, the network of Italian Marine Districts (RETE), OGS and CONISMA have been identified and mapped in order to create a data-base, available on-line, with the aim of providing scientific support to all the technological transfer and innovation activities carried out within RITMARE. A first example of full technological transfer has been completed, concerning a RITMARE research activity consisting in the development and commercialisation of advanced sensor systems to measure in real time the deformation of a boat/shiphull.
