What we learned
Engaging with scientific assessment processes:
needs an investment of time
needs an investment of resource
demands data products are built together (co-creation)
requires adaptation of the EMODnet Chem vocabs, formats, QC processes

5. We need to be mindful of
Good responsiveness of the EMODnet technical and regional product ‘services’
reliant on the network of institutes making data available in a timely manner
