What is EuroMarine? Ethos Self-sustained by membership fees Long-term (10 year+, renewable) Bottom-up inclusiveness Broad coverage of disciplines Open to emerging fields Multi-disciplinary teams Self-sustained by membership fees Hosted by IRD Coordinated by CNRS and IRD

The network covers a wide range of disciplines Policy Pollution Systematics Conservation Biogeography Invasive species Economic valuation Climate Physical Chemical Biological Biogeochemistry Oceanography Biodiversity Marine Ecology/Biology Fisheries and aquaculture Ecosystem end-to-end Population dynamics Ecosystem approach Ecosystem Services Global change Evolutionary Ecology Community Ecology Genetics/Genomics Population Ecology Acclimation Adaptation BEF

Main challenges and priority areas What is EuroMarine for? Understanding marine ecosystems for healthy oceans under global / climate change Main challenges and priority areas Building scenarios for marine socio-ecological systems under changing oceans Marine science as a provider of new concepts for innovation and technology Identification and initial development of: emerging scientific topics associated methodologies Foster new services networking, news mobility, education training, scholarly services data, infrastructure Advocacy improve science-governance interface provide latest scientific expertise knowledge exchange and mobilization Promote cutting-edge science by supporting the identification and initial development of emerging scientific topics or issues associated methodologies in marine sciences Foster new services relevant to the marine scientific community networking, news mobility, education training, scholarly services data, infrastructure Advocate for marine science and help: improve the science-governance interface provide expertise transfer knowledge

Euromarine in action – Marine Graduate Training Training the 21st Century Ocean Scientists working group (incl. EMB, JPI-Oceans) Key priority for Euromarine Recommend improvements to current training Strategy paper Workshop 'How innovative training can support Blue Growth' at EU Maritime Day 2016 ERA-Net COFASP: recommendations for a new graduate programme

Blue Science for Blue Growth – Marine Science at the European Parliament We advocate for the inclusion of the ocean on all future political agendas through scientific and fact-based decision making Providing valuable insight to enhance partnerships, improve research and data collection and access, and contribute to international cooperation and support Responsive and creative science to help tackle current and emerging issues and challenges in the marine environment

A New Era of Blue Enlightenment Launching of the South Atlantic Flagship Initiative between EU, Brazil, and South Africa Improve understanding and protection of marine ecosystems, including closely linking research activities. Euromarine side-event demonstrating research collaboration in Europe Key stakeholders included high-level government representatives, industry experts, funding agencies, research organisations, marine networks, foundations and academia

A New Era of Blue Enlightenment – Euromarine side-event Highlight EuroMarine contribution made to the research community; Identify collaborations and opportunities for ocean research available within the network; Provide an example of a network model that could be extended to other regions; Invite relevant parties to explore funding opportunities and collaborations with the network

The Future of EuroMarine Identify science priorities Provide new perspectives to Facilitate long term integration of data Build bottom-up links Enhance education and training Engage with marine networks Knowledge hub for marine science Lobby for marine assessments Share resources, infrastructure, knowledge Vision A bottom up organisation that can support research, training and innovation from the labs to the policy makers Present the idea of Nature-based solutions (includes climate mitigation), how we feed into IPBES, relation to MB, EC, contribute to BG strategy www.euromarinenetwork.eu
