Coastal and estuarine areas are under constant erosion/sedimentation pressure. The sustainable development of these areas depends on our understanding of and ability to predict the effect of complex sediment transport and morphodynamic processes and the development of effective applied engineering solutions. Coastal protection is an important issue in the implementation of successful Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) plans. The objective of the intrersectoral Network SEDIMARE is the interdisciplinary training and award of a PhD degree to Researchers in coastal processes and engineering, aiming towards a sustainable coastal use and protection. The Network comprises 6 universities, 4 private sector beneficiaries (1 Applied Research Institute, 1 corporation, and 2 SMEs), and 1 industrial associated partner. The Network will provide a training-through-research program to 10 Researchers, which comprises comprehensive academic training including web-based teaching, inter-institutional co-supervision, intersectoral secondments, summer/winter schools, workshops, complementary activities, dissemination, and outreach activities. The research plan is organized into 3 Work Packages (WP): (1) Sediment Transport Processes, (2) Coupling of Flow, Sediment Transport, and Morphodynamics, and (3) Sustainable Coastal Engineering Solutions. Each WP includes several projects, whose implementation is based on the strong interaction between all beneficiaries. The topics include: complex sediment transport processes involving sandmud mixtures, mixed-size sands, and granular-fluid mixtures; coupling between hydrodynamics (waves, storm surges, and tides), sediment transport, and morphological changes; and engineering solutions to issues/problems related to erosion/sedimentation with emphasis on sustainability and resilience. The research methods include effective process-based engineering modeling, advanced numerical simulations, and innovative experiments.

沿海和河口区域处于恒定的侵蚀/沉积压力下。这些领域的可持续发展取决于我们对预测复杂沉积物运输和形态动力学过程影响以及有效应用工程解决方案的影响的能力的理解和能力。沿海保护是实施成功综合沿海地区管理（ICZM）计划的重要问题。室内网络Sedimare的目的是向沿海流程和工程学研究人员授予博士学位的跨学科培训和授予，旨在实现可持续的沿海使用和保护。该网络包括6所大学，4位私营部门受益人（1名应用研究所，1个公司和2个中小型企业）和1名工业合作伙伴。该网络将为10名研究人员提供培训研究计划，其中包括全面的学术培训活动。研究计划分为3个工作包（WP）：（1）沉积物运输过程，（2）流量，沉积物运输和形态动力学的耦合，以及（3）可持续的沿海工程解决方案。每个WP都包含几个项目，其实施是基于所有受益人之间的牢固互动。主题包括：复杂的沉积物传输工艺，涉及砂糖混合物，混合大小的沙子和颗粒状液体混合物；流体动力学（波浪，风暴潮和潮汐），沉积物传输和形态变化之间的耦合；以及针对与侵蚀/沉积有关的问题/问题的工程解决方案，重点是可持续性和韧性。研究方法包括有效的基于过程的工程建模，高级数值模拟和创新实验。
