Marine Board Forum

The Marine Board provides a platform for the European marine science community. A large number of European marine science-related bodies express interest in establishing information exchange, or receiving endorsement for their activities or positions from the Marine Board. Furthermore, there is a growing need to link with European universities and industry stakeholders.

In this regard, the Marine Board developed an instrument, the Marine Board Forum, which allows interactions and involvement between the Marine Board and other pan-European organisations, networks and individual scientists.

Objectives

The Marine Board Forum supports the Marine Board’s philosophy to: 

  • Reduce duplication of initiatives;
  • Limit fragmentation within the European marine science landscape;
  • Facilitate information exchange;
  • Enhance synergy among actors;
  • Provide a focal point for institutions and individual scientists to meet;
  • Gather and synthesise information to optimise the delivery of the voice of the European marine science community.

The Marine Board Forum is a biennial event. Output from the Forum presentations and discussions are published as proceedings.
