  1. Overarching Marine ERA-Net SEAS-ERA CoordinationAction “TowardsintegratedEuropean marine researchstrategy and programmes”

  2. AMPERA 8th EB Meeting - Oslo, Septl 30th, 2008.

  3. Call targeted objectives • Fostering cooperation/integration betweenmarine research funding agencies, thereby developing a stable European overarching operational structure for marine research. • Developing and implementing common research strategies and programmes related to the European sea basins and common strategies and programmes for European coherence in developing and implementing globally important marine research. • Building up a coherent vision of the planning and use of research infrastructures, in line with the actions undertaken within the Capacity Programme (ESFRI opportunity list).

  4. Guidingdocuments • CommunicationfromtheCommission (3.9.2008): “A EuropeanStrategyfor Marine and MaritimeResearch” • Council Decissionon a EuropeanStrategyfor Marine and MaritimeResearch (2.10.2008) • CommunicationfromtheCommission (15.7.2008): “TowardsJointProgramming in Research” • Council DecissionconcerningJointProgramming of Research in Europe in Response totheMajorSocietalChallenges (2.12.2008)

  5. Guidingideas • The EU future maritime policy is designed to achieve the full economic potential of oceans and seas in harmony with the marine environment. • The EC claims for a new approach in terms of joint marine and maritime research efforts pursuing “excellence in research” as the basis to support a thriving and growing economy. • There is a need for a concerted definition of R&D needs and priorities, to maximize the economic and environmental outputs. • Research, at the end, should provide sound knowledge to support initiatives and policy decisions.

  6. EU R&D weaknesses • Fragmentation and duplication of research efforts • Imbalances in research and technological capacities among regions • Need for a joint and efficient policy on infrastructures • Deficient interdisciplinary approaches/joint approach marine-maritime • Limited collaboration between national programmes

  7. SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Improve co-operation and co-ordination and promote harmonisation of national/regional research programmes to strengthen them, bridging possible gaps and avoiding duplications; this will significantly contribute to the setting up of a European Marine and Maritime Research Agenda.

  8. SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Foster synergies at national and regional level, mobilising competitive and non-competitive funds for research in a more coordinated way, through common programs and joint calls, so as to reach a critical mass to address major cross-thematic marine and maritime research challenges. Research funding organizations (RFOs) and research performing organizations (RPOs) have to be involved in this mission.

  9. SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Propose a plan for a better and sustainable use of the existing Marine Research Infrastructures, developing a common vision, e.g. a strategy for marine infrastructure research among the Member States and other countries, fostering technological development to improve MRIs quality and service.

  10. SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Reduce imbalances among regions through human capacity building. To this end, the project will devote special attention to set-up a pan-European training and mobility strategy for human resources for the development of ocean-related activities.

  11. SEAS-ERA Mainobjectives • Enhance public awareness towards marine and maritime scientific and policy issues in Europe. SEAS-ERA will have a strong commitment to translate the RTD activities into social, economic and cultural benefits. SEAS-ERA will emphasise the role of science in marine and maritime policy.Overall, this will form a core element of the dissemination strategy.

  15. Communicationstrategy • The SEAS_ERA project envisages two differentiated areas of exchange of information: • The exchange of information among partners and related projects and organizations. • The public dissemination of information on marine/maritime R&D issues and project results

  16. How What To whom Web based media(website, forums, newsletters, science shops…) Researchers R+D Programmes Decision-makers / administration R+D Outputs R+D Actors Publications(brochures, reports, videos,…) Industry Technologies and providers Citizens NGOs Media Conferences/ workshops Infrastructures Where National Regional Pan-European Communicationstrategy

  20. Disseminationtypes • Dissemination for awareness (make end-users/audiences to be aware of the work of the project) • Dissemination for understanding (make end-users/audiences to understand the work of the project) • Dissemination for action (make end-users/audiences to adopt actions)

  21. The process of creating effective and relevant R&D programmes should involve 3 main, distinct, stages (Figure 3). Stage 1one would be to create the basis for R&D that can effectively target AMP needs. During this stage, the input from end-users and policy stakeholders would inform of their needs. Ideally, scientists would also provide relevant feedback on how such needs could be met by applied R&D programmes. Stage 2 will concern the management and development of the R&D programmes, in which regular communication between the end-users and policy stakeholders and scientists is required to ensure that the final outputs are adequate for uptake and use of the R&D outputs. Stage 3 will concern the dissemination of R&D outputs, and their practical uptake by end-users/policy stakeholders. It is important that the final stage ends with the provision of feedback from end-user and policy/stakeholders back into stage 1, where future R&D programmes will be designed and launched. • An effective linkage mechanism will support each of the stages shown in figure 3, by explicitly facilitating information on R&D needs, the communication and exchange of information between scientists, end-users and policy makers, and by providing feedback into the process on the R&D outputs uptake.
