Abstract

Integrated Maritime Surveillance is the effective understanding of all activities carried out at sea that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment of the European Union and its Member States, according to the Integrated Maritime Policy and the European Maritime Security Strategy of the European Union. Enhancing information exchange between maritime surveillance authorities is one of the key strategic objectives of the European Union under the Integrated Maritime Policy. On this concept is based EUCISE2020, a Security Research project of the European Seventh Framework Program aiming to achieve the pre-operational Information Sharing between the maritime authorities of the European States. EUCISE2020 is an important milestone in the roadmap for implementation of the European CISE – Common Information Sharing Environment, and it represents the European test-bed for the maritime Common Information Sharing Environment in the 2020 perspective. 
EUCISE2020 will promote technical innovation and future sustainability of solutions developed, aiming to be the reference implementation of CISE and one of the actions of the European Action Plan for the European Maritime Security Strategy.
The project, coordinated by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), involves 37 partner organizations from 16 European countries: maritime Authorities, Oceanographic Institutes, experts; it is funded by the European Commission DG ENTERPRISE and is under the strategic direction of DG MARE, owner of the Integrated Maritime Policy and the implementation of the CISE. The implementation plan of EUCISE2020 consists of three consecutive phases devoted to the different types of activities that need to be carried out during the overall project duration period of 38 months:
•	Definition of user requirements to achieve the common information sharing system;
•	Implementation, testing and demonstration of CISE pre-operational platform, with the support of a consortium of European companies chosen through an European public tender;
•	Evaluation of capabilities built and their demonstrated benefits for European society and economy; proposed standardization and governance to achieve a sustainable large-scale operation of the implemented solutions.
This paper aims to give a comprehensive description of the EUCISE2020 project and to provide an overview of the status and objectives so far achieved.
