iMarine was represented further by A.Ellenbroek. 

TBTI's Rodolphe Devillers will visit FAO Rome (TBTI already collaborates with FAO), and a meeting is scheduled 02 July – afternoon

TBTI illustrated their interest in:

* Survey data collection and alignment; proposed on-line forms for Scientists/stakeholders, projects/activities, and resources
* Interactive maps to identify areas for local fishers, 
* An app for "glocal" (global version and local versions) fisheries related information
* Collaborative tools for sharing docs
* Semantic keyword extraction and automatic interpretation of texts (at least add metadata from keyword / concepts)
* Learning environment, on-line training courses 

An example on-line survey was given [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1L3AB2AEKQYal-D729z4Gq8ocoQ5gZjXlZ8TnuH3zANI/viewform?pli=1&edit_requested=true here]

TBTI is interested in any collaboration, with several limitations on contracting arrangements, hardware issues (hosting location), JAVA software development (some 6 PM), unregistered access, and website integration.

iMarine reacted positively to most use-cases, but (much) more info is required. 

A [https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/1923 VRE] is requested for TBTI to better understand the offer.
