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.

沿海和河口地区不断受到侵蚀/沉积的压力。这些地区的可持续发展取决于我们对复杂的泥沙输运和地貌动力过程的影响的理解和预测能力，以及有效的应用工程解决方案的开发。海岸保护是实施成功的海岸带综合管理计划的一个重要问题。SEDIMARE跨部门网络的目标是对沿海过程和工程研究人员进行跨学科培训并授予博士学位，旨在实现可持续的沿海利用和保护。该网络包括6所大学、4个私营部门受益者（1个应用研究所、1个公司和2个中小企业）和1个工业相关伙伴。该网络将为10名研究人员提供研究培训方案，其中包括全面的学术培训，包括基于网络的教学、机构间共同监督、部门间借调、夏季/冬季学校、讲习班、补充活动、传播和外联活动。该研究计划分为3个工作包（WP）：（1）沉积物输运过程，（2）水流，沉积物输运和形态动力学的耦合，以及（3）可持续的海岸工程解决方案。每个工作方案都包括若干项目，其执行基于所有受益者之间的密切互动。这些主题包括：涉及砂泥混合物、混合粒度砂和颗粒流体混合物的复杂沉积物输运过程;水动力学（波浪、风暴潮和潮汐）、沉积物输运和形态变化之间的耦合;以及与侵蚀/沉积相关的问题/难题的工程解决方案，重点是可持续性和复原力。研究方法包括有效的基于过程的工程建模，先进的数值模拟和创新的实验。
