Lessons Learned per Open Access

Milestone 2

• Present the RRI concept with clear examples;
• Raise awareness of the general public on the environmental impact of offshore installations at all stages (building, exploitation, dismantling);
• Improve science literacy and research applicability to increase awareness on the specific issue;
• Make marine issues visible and understandable to the public.

Milestone 3

• Invite stakeholders to provide their feedback about workshop;
• Provide as much information as possible to the subject before the workshop;
• Engage researchers with the industry for the development of appropriate technologies since there is a discrepancy between the academia and the industry needs.

Milestone 4

• Develop partnerships for science outreach actions;
• Capture the content in a way that is more free-flowing which is later interpreted by the workshop team.

Milestone 5

• Focus not only on high-level ideas, but also on required research and innovation actions needed to execute them;
• Increase knowledge on deep sea minerals occurrences and their economic;
• Work together (science, law, economics, policy) to give advice on seabed mining issues;
• Create an organized knowledge synthesis on Deep Sea Mining;
• Develop new capacities for studying and a performing monitoring;
• Conduct studies of renewable energy on the Black Sea coastal area;
• Provide the results on MARINA platform;
• Developing a spatial plan specific to zoning of areas of offshore renewables;
• Develop a GIS information database;
• Develop a clear communications strategy;
• Push for adjust rules to allow open access to relevant sector research results;
• 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;
• While interpreting the results consider that participants can have different information and data about the topic: the "reality" can be difficult to identify.

Milestone 6

• Share data for a better cooperation and public engagement on the high seas;
• Carry out studies on potential impact of the investment in offshore wind energy to develop them;
• Educate children to environmental issues as well as renewable energy profits to create a new wiser society;
• Promote researchers qualifications to find new bio applications for products answering societal needs;
• Contribute with knowledge and conceptual frameworks that support interaction, collaboration and holistic recommendations based on research experience;
• Create an open access platform with all Deep Sea Mining data available including biological and geological information;
• Create a common DATABASE – for centralizing all the data and studies regarding biodiversity;
• Disseminate the results on MARINA platform

Use public-private partnerships as a new economical instrument;

• Offer open access to the specialized information and share knowledge;
• Send the final results of the workshop to the participants;
• Create a path to open information on climate changes topic and related data;
• Open data for all interested stakeholders;
• Succeed with public engagement through science education and open access in policy;
• Initiate open access through public offices also to non-governmental stakeholders;
• Develop information exchange systems between government, industry and the universities;
• Start measuring and collecting marine scientific data on board different non-scientific vessels.

Milestone 7

• Develop real-time information systems, training activities and incentives to share knowledge and information for avoiding tendencies of local governments and businesses to downplay negative consequences;
• Collect and share information and good practices to raise awareness on marine biotech and to reduce marine pollution;
• Take into consideration new types of ownership forms in order to kick-start of development;
• Analyse the impact of plumes and waste produced by Deep Sea Mining exploitation.

Milestone 8

• Use the media and science mediators to make society aware about research and innovation results;
• Increase the impact of projects' results thanks to open access;
• Implement program of innovative research in relation to the effectiveness of the constructions of towers and generators to ensure sustainable development of renewable energy;
• Communicate broadly and raise wide awareness about the specific initiative to anchor change;
• Create higher awareness on technological achievements from challenging and cutting edge successful projects to attract skilled people to work in the sector;
• Reliable scientific information is not easily accessible for sectorial actors;
• Ethical issues are highly important in maintaining the sustainable operation of the vessels while safeguarding the environment;
• Raise awareness and embed RRI into educational curricula;
• Provide free and easier access to the results of the studies;
• Claim for an international coordination to identify the possible impacts of innovations.
