SEAS-ERA Forum

1st SEAS-ERA Strategic Forum

07 September 2011, COST Office, Brussels

The 1st SEAS-ERA Strategic Forum, SEAS-ERA & JPI Oceans: commonalities and synergies, will aim to:

  • Apprise the community of the SEAS-ERA and of the JPI 'Oceans' workplans and progress;
  • Articulate how the JPI and SEAS-ERA (and possibly other marine and environmental ERA-NETs) could concretely benefit from, contribute to, and where appropriate, align the activities of one another;
  • Reflect on the structuration of the "funding" component of the future Marine and Maritime Science Partnership (as developed within the FP7 MARCOM+ project).

The Forum will aim to deliver an indicative roadmap to link SEAS-ERA and JPI 'Oceans' activities (and possibly with other marine and environmental ERA-NETs). It will also provide a timely opportunity for a joint discussion on the proposal(s) for a Marine and Maritime Science Partnership currently being developed by the MARCOM+ project.

The 1st SEAS-ERA Forum will take place back to back with the 2nd MARCOM+ Open Forum, taking place the following day, 08 September, at the Hotel Marivaux in Brussels. This related event will debate proposal(s) on the structure of a future European Marine and Maritime Science Partnership, together with the wider marine and maritime research community, as well as representative of the industry sector and policy and decision makers.
