Lessons Learned per Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy

Protect the deep sea from mining, create laws that impose that deep sea mining is a non-profit activity and concert the deep sea into world heritage site. Raise awareness on aquaculture in the Azores. Promote education, training and more equal incomes for fishermen in the Azores. Consider opportunities of synergies between the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in the Azores Beware that the high level of qualification needed in aquaculture and the small scale of the region market are two contraints of the synergie between the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in the Azores. Promote researchers qualifications to find new bio aplications for products answering societal needs Promote the reinforcement of policies and adoption of coherent legislative frameworks to develop Marine Biotechnology Promote the involvement of public authorities on local, national and European levels. Consider ethics when dealing with the legal frameworks to assure marine biotech sustainability and social awareness Foster collaboration among companies in the Marine Biotech value chain and social and environmental actors Foster stakeholder engagement, capacity building, behavioural changes and production and consumption pattern shift with Science education Use Open access to boost innovation and increase the use of scientific results by all societal actors as well as to develop public trust and engagement. Consider the distinction between the actions of making information available and the actions of making the information understandable by its potential users when dealing with Open Access, Realize a complete inventory of local skills on marine biotech of academic actors, start-ups or companies already established in the region. Create of a one-stop shop for the Institute of (Bio) Blue Technologies with short and long-term strategies. Create an award the best Blue (bio)technologies innovation or product to make maritime biotech a sustianable economic opportunity. Sensibilize restaurants and the public about the potential offered by the blue biotech Organize of a Marine biotech day at the regional level including different actors to make the general public aware on the marine biotechnology sector and its potential Develop new mode of governance for marine biotechnology development including the engagement of the society Carry the project with "Ambassadors" or " figures" at regional level (navigators, high level sportsman, divers, swimmer). Assign participants to a specific table according togender, type of organization/institution , type of expertise in the field, main interest in general to ensure multi-disciplinarity. Develop new collaborations for new means of communication Such workshop make participants convinced about RRI, but doesn't tend to help them in the concrete application of RRI in their daily work Focus on the concept and its tools when explaining RRI to participants Multiply events where researchers from academia and industry exchange with a broader community to enhance this community and its visibility Coordinate and develop industrial, academic and political linkages to boost funding around marine biotech Exchange with star chefs on new products from the transformation of marine resources to provide the opportunity to sensibillize a wider audience Encourage scientists and NGOS to popularize the different aspects of marine biotechnology through science café, forums, open days etc Provide scientific education in all the scholar cycles: it is crucial There is a serious need for regulations and legislations about the release of bacteria at sea Promote governance arrangements and practices to favour sustainable tourism and seafood consumption. Involving customers ranked the most favourable cluster with specific actions including the adoption of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) business model. Educate the public at large in their individual role in marine conservation and sustainability (Public Engagement, Science Education). Educate all stakeholders about sustainable tourism sustainability to achieve socially and environmentally acceptable goods and services. Changing customer demand requires attractive and sustainable products that provide unique and customised experiences. Reliable scientific information is not easily accessible for tourist and stakeholders of the tourism industry. Open access, i.e. giving free online access to the results of publicly-funded research data will boost innovation and increase the use of scientific results by all societal actors. The absence of gender equality reveals a critical gap in access to opportunities and resources and decision-making power for women and men. Create a seafood producers organisation in France to reduce the gap between the producers and consumers. Suggested actions were mainly focused on Science Education in sustainable development and marine resources management as a critical part of local culture and coastal tourism. The education of young people and the use of exchange programs between schools will lead to active citizenship respectful of the environment. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) can help to overcome the current marine and societal challenges and unlock the potential for Blue Growth. All relevant stakeholders need to be involved in the process of developing sustainable tourism ventures within MPAs ). (this relates to strategic goal 12). The ultimate aim should be to develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable development impacts and to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products. Clarify from the start of any process or workshop all terms and acronyms so that all participants from various backgrounds understand them. Advocate on the necessity of creating specific funding schemes to support the development of the targeted sector based on RRI principles. Provide Open Access to data for a proactive response to societal challenges. Develop information exchange systems between government, industry and the universities. Increase environmental and science education to promote societal understanding and participation. Take measures to develop and further enchance the engagement and cooperation between different stakeholders. Create platforms where industry and academic leaders can disseminate accurate and influential information which can be accessible by the general public. Engage researchers with the industry for the development of appropriate technologies since there is a discrepancy between the academia and the industry needs. Motivate to receive ahead of the workshop and on time the participants' action ideas and to attract participants from all stakeholders’ groups. To develop a sector, develop a legal framework to promote and regulate the development of the specific sector. Be aware that policy-makers are not easy to attract to a workshop unless they know the organiser personally. Create funding mechanisms to promote RRI in research and innovation in the specific sector. Education is necessary for the marine biotechnology development thus the need for developing university educational programmes on marine biotechnology. Raise awareness among pupils and students about environmental protetion through informational programs as well as promote the specific sector as a means of employability. Push for cooperation among academic institutions and the industry as it is crucial. The greater majority of actions relate to more than one RRI dimension; this shows that actions are multidisciplinary and involve multiple stakeholders. Create training programs targeting SMEs and investors by focusing on enablers and barriers. Start planning at least 4 months in advance the organisation of a workshop as it is very time consuming task. Carefully consider the workshop's duration as many participants think that a one day-long workshopis too long. Learn about participatory methods and how to use them. Help the participants with examples to understand how to embed RRI principles when discussing a sector and societal challenges.
