Deep Blue Days within Sea Tech Week
Brest is organising the 9th
successive Sea Tech Week, from 13th
to 17th
October 2014. This international event is a unique occasion, which attracts more than 1000 participants and covers multiple marine-related disciplines. In addition to a human-scale exhibition, which allows participants to easily interact, Sea Tech Week brings together a range of conferences and workshops organised by local, regional, national and international partners of the event.
In 2014, Sea Tech Week will focus in particular on deep sea challenges, through the organisation by Brest métropole océane urban council of a main conference: Deep Blue Days. Technopôle Brest-Iroise (Brest Science Park) is in charge of the content of these 3 days, together with the driving forces in the fields of marine sciences and technologies of the Brest territory.
The deep ocean is one of new frontiers, with contrasted specificities depending on the interactions between living species and minerals, making it a confirmed or potential reservoir of energy, mineral and biological resources. The fast growing world population and the emerging countries are demanding resources at an ever-increasing rate, while land-based resources become scarce. In this context, resources of the ocean are attracting an increasing interest from the international community. However, due to extreme environmental conditions, the responsible use of these (mostly) non-renewable resources is a complex process, with many challenges to overcome. Our future is blue and needs to be prepared.
Challenges overview, cross-cutting aspect and value chain approach
Current challenges in the development of energy, mineral and biological resources will be presented and discussed by covering the entire value chain: research and development, technologies, environmental issues, social sciences including law and economics, governance and defence (security). Our cross-cutting approach will help to create new interactions between participants from different professional sectors (academia, industry, governmental organizations, public institutions…) and disciplines.
Due to the different types of resources and therefore the state of advancement in their use and exploitation, challenges are different. The integration of energy, mineral and biological resources into a same conference will foster the development of common solutions and new cooperation.
Where international science and technology meet in Brest
The Deep Blue Days will focus on key technologies under development, such as acoustics, robotics, mathematics and signal processing, material behaviour… This double approach, both scientific and industrial, has been chosen voluntarily, with the objective to make the conference an innovative event.
Highly competent international speakers will attend the Conference, especially from countries involved in deep-sea issues such as Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Republic of Korea, The Netherlands, UK, USA…

In an increasingly competitive market, innovation is seen as one of the key elements in ensuring quality, reliability, product range extension and competitiveness. In coming years and decades the reality of facing reduced accessible resources, driven to explore and produce in increasingly deeper water depths and harsher environments, will force the offshore oil & gas segments to invest more in R&D.
The discovery of mineral reservoirs in deep sea environments is gaining an economic interest. This emerging market underlies new opportunities for both mining and offshore oil & gas companies to transfer and adapt their technological competencies to the development of deepwater mineral resources.

Contrary to the initial assumptions based on the extreme energy limitation preventing life development, the past two decades of marine research has shown that the Deep Ocean hosts one of the largest biomass on Earth.
Considered still as a black box, the deep biosphere needs further investigation to assess: (1) its composition, especially for the hidden part: the microbial life; (2) its spatial heterogeneity linked to the seascape diversity; and (3) its evolution under natural and anthropogenic pressures (e.g. exploitation of deep sea resources), as well as related feedbacks with other Earth bio-geochemical components.
The session BIO-1 will be dedicated to technological challenges and innovative tools to help in biodiversity inventory and observe its long-term evolution.
Part 1 : technological challenges and evaluation of environmental impacts due to resources exploitation

14:30 – 17:30
Chairs:
Mohamed JEBBAR Brest University (UBO), Brest, France
The large biomass available in the deep ocean raises potential interest in terms of providing for humanity services for humans. The evaluation of economic opportunities requires both to acquire more knowledge of the resource and to put this emerging market in the competitive global context of biotechnologies (including terrestrial and shallow sea).
Current R&D focuses on the use of secondary metabolites, enzymes and bio-polymers with applications to health, cosmetics, materials and biofuels. In addition to presentations of advances in the valorisation of deep bio-resources, session BIO-2 would expect to invite industrials to go into marine issues.

Safe and secure development of offshore resources involves technological challenges to ensure sea control in the ocean and/or far in the open seas. It can be achieved through three objectives: (1) understand the environment where activities take place; (2) control the maritime information in open ocean; and (3) develop specific assets for action.
During this session, applied research and advanced technology development will be presented and discussed to improve operational performances of offshore activities in a safe and secure way
