Lessons Learned from Poland MML workshops

Milestone 1

Milestone 2

Provide a good incentive and personal benefits to motivate people to attend the workshop(s) and processes;
Raise awareness of the general public on the environmental impact of offshore installations at all stages (building, exploitation, dismantling).

Milestone 3

Remember that apart from being scientists, teachers, policy-makers, they are all citizens of coastal cities who want to care for the environment as a private person;
Use common words so that non scientists participants can understand and contribute to the discussion without being overwhelmed by scientific language;
Empower all stakeholder groups to co-create sustainable value propositions that reflect societal needs and support healthy marine environments thanks to RRI dimensions.

Milestone 4

Do not interfere too much with the topics participants chose to focus on, it mostly depends on individual needs/experience and knowledge.

Encourage the production of socially and environmentally acceptable solutions and services with the science education of business and industry professionals;
Plan what to do with buildings/installations which have been created while building wind farms.

Milestone 6

Consider Governance as a common responsibility of citizens and decision makers;
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;
Develop societal awareness about water and advantages of use of renewable energy sources in general and offshore wind farms in particular.

Milestone 8

Open university faculties, strongly connected with wind farms to help the sustainable development of renewable energy;
Scale up research and bring responses to sustainable development of offshore wind farms with Science education;
Implement program of innovative research in relation to the effectiveness of the constructions of towers and generators to ensure sustainable development of renewable energy;
Establish policies that are favourable for ecological investments in sustainable development;
Educate policy-makers to science to reinforce policies and adopt coherent legislative frameworks of economic competitiveness and sustainability of offshore wind energy.
