Expression of the needs• Industry• Academia• Policy
Overview of opportunities• Infrastructure• Know-how• Programmes
Gap analysis and Action plans
Data gathering and communication strategy
Expression of the needs
• INDUSTRY (sea food, aquaculture, dredging, …)
Multidisciplinarity
Shape more “Polytechnicians of the Sea”Provide sea-going experienceCo-ordinate better international educational efforts and models
The Engineer
He knows “How”
The Scientist
He knows “Why”
Expression of the needs
• ACADEMIA• System view: based on strong background, understanding
of ecosystems, of analytical tools (strengths and limits), observation, monitoring, ecosystem modelling, etc.
• Applied research: sustainable use of the ocean, impacts of pollution, industry, maritime transport, protection, coastal defence, biotechnology, scientific support of ocean governance
• Data management: data sets to be integrated, what are relevant data, where do I find these data, www.pangaea.de, ethics and attitude of data sharing
• Museums: datasets accessible to students and scientists
• ACADEMIA (continued) New challenges – urge for education• Example from the shelf:
linkages between fluxes (bio-geo-chemical), by observation, modelling, integrative approaches
• Example from ecology:tipping points where systems change from one type to another one, but when and how happens this? Therefore you need observations in high resolution over long periods
• Example from geosciences:ultra-high resolution of archives, predictive value in climate research, human impact assessment, testing of models of predictions
Expression of the needs (continued)
