Marina Project

We are executing 32 local workshops for Mobilising and Mutual Learning (MLL) all over Europe and Turkey among citizens, scientists, innovators, local authorities, national policy makers, business, universities and research centers. The themes of the MML workshops relate to local marine challenges and common visions to define action plans. All these participants are invited to join the MARINA Knowledge Sharing Platform and to form a community of practice to follow-up the execution of their action plan and to share their knowledge and experiences. We provide best practices, lessons learned and recommendations for marine and RRI policy improvements at EU-level through 8 international MML workshops and 3 European policy workshops. We are identifying best practices and lessons learned from previous and current EU-funded projects and provide these on the MARINA Knowledge Sharing Platform for helping future RRI initiatives. We are raising awareness for improving the sea ecosystems as well as for creating responsible solutions using the marine resources through an exhibition and several communication events in many European countries. We are providing an easy to use step-by-step Knowledge Sharing Platform to create a strong marine RRI community across geographic boundaries. The MARINA comprehensive RRI implementation framework will guide organisations to embed RRI in their research and innovation processes. We are communicating the findings to university and research associations for informing the upcoming generation of scientists about RRI. Latest News
