Excerpt from Mercator/Our History link
The story began in 1995. Some thirty scientists – oceanographers, meteorologists, mathematicians and engineers – met in a small village in the Périgord region.(...) “Mercator Project” was born, in tribute to the pioneering Flemish cartographer who created one of the first atlases and gave us one of the map projections most widely-used by oceanographers today.
La Chapelle Aubareil, 26 June 1995 @Agence DAG
Mercator launches "MyOcean projects financed in large part from 2009 to 2015 by the 7th Framework Programme for Research, and then by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme".
