Lessons Learned per Science Education

Expand

Milestone 1

• Make lists of actions and players, record skills, know-how and economic potential, identify best practices and make full use of them to put the chosen topic on the national agenda.

Expand

Milestone 2

• Present the RRI concept with clear examples;
• Provide enough time for the presentation of science outcomes and sharing knowledge from research point of view;
• Make the high seas more visible to all stakeholders, the benefits for all and the issues at stake;
• Raise awareness of the general public on the environmental impact of offshore installations at all stages (building, exploitation, dismantling);
• Make the MARINA platform a case study platform where collaborative coastal climate solution projects are presented;
• Improve science literacy and research applicability to increase awareness on the specific issue;
• Explain clearly the MARINA project goals;
• Make marine issues visible and understandable to the public;
• Run awareness campaigns so that the issue problem is clearly understood by all stakeholders;
• Raise citizen and business awareness about the environmental protection and sustainability.

Milestone 3

• Empower European citizens, business representatives, researchers and policy makers to take informed decisions on the high seas through science education;
• Invite stakeholders to provide their feedback about workshop;
• Provide as much information as possible to the subject before the workshop;
• The education of young people and the use of exchange programs between schools will lead to active citizenship respectful of the environment;
• All relevant stakeholders need to be involved in the process of developing sustainable tourism ventures within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs);
• Engage researchers with the industry for the development of appropriate technologies since there is a discrepancy between the academia and the industry needs;
• Raise awareness among pupils and students about environmental protection through informational programs as well as promote the specific sector as a means of employability.

Milestone 4

• Develop partnerships for science outreach actions;
• Promote the societal challenge as a hot topic and the workshop's results (media, partners, stakeholders, etc);
• Increase the level of awareness of Marine Spatial Planning process and it's implication in coastal communities and for all stakeholders;
• Capture the content in a way that is more free-flowing which is later interpreted by the workshop team;
• Multidisciplinary research considers the sustainability vector is key.

Milestone 5

• Focus not only on high-level ideas, but also on required research and innovation actions needed to execute them;
• Encourage the production of socially and environmentally acceptable solutions and services with the science education of business and industry professionals;
• Develop case studies on how municipalities work with climate change projects and community driven innovation;
• Include more education aspects of citizenship, sustainability and ecology in schools;
• Increase knowledge on deep sea minerals occurrences and their economic;
• Work together (science, law, economics, policy) to give advice on seabed mining issues;
• Increase awareness in the use of raw materials and their importance on our society;
• Create an organized knowledge synthesis on Deep Sea Mining;
• Identify what are the society's perceptions and knowledge gaps for consideration in future planning of Deep Sea Mining research and innovation initiatives;
• Develop new capacities for studying and a performing monitoring;
• Conduct studies of renewable energy on the Black Sea coastal area;
• Promote the meaning of the term "renewable energy systems";
• Develop educational programs to prepare specialists in the "renewable energy systems" field;
• Raise public awareness on the real problems;
• Develop and implement awareness and educational campaigns and engage local communities;
• Provide the results on MARINA platform;
• Learn from education, rather than experience, is necessary to avoid climate changes impact;
• Include marine/environmental education in school curricula;
• Developing a spatial plan specific to zoning of areas of offshore renewables;
• Develop a GIS information database;
• Develop a clear communications strategy;
• Develop a national strategy for coastal management and coastal protection;
• Develop a coastal protection strategy that is fit for purpose by all stakeholders;
• Focus on RRI issues by prompting participants to talk more about how researchers can be enrolled in all actions generated and how other stakeholders can be useful to researchers;
• Push for adjust rules to allow open access to relevant sector research results;
• Raise awareness through education for developing/supporting new technologies for responsible maritime transport;
• 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.
