Task Create connectivity and stimulate synergy among ongoing R&I projects
Lead: Value Chain Supervisors; Support: All
Duration (months): M11 – M21
OBJECTIVE Knowledge brokering between projects funded in the co- funded call and other thematically relevant ongoing projects
The task will also search projects funded by COFASP, ERA-MBT, H2020, BBI JU, BONUS, JPI Oceans
Will use the database in T7.1
Need your input to identify relevant ongoing national projects
Consider doing a common kick-off meeting for all the co-funded projects
BANOS (BONUS CSA) has a similar task

Task Human Capacity Building (HCB) including RRI, Training and Mobility exchange
Lead: CNR; Support: All
Duration (months):
OBJECTIVES
To facilitate the implementation of concrete actions related to training and HCB within the BlueBio co-funded projects
Identification of specific training needs relevant to the Blue Bioeconomy basing on the projects collection implemented within Task 7.1, the outcomes of 7.4, the strategic documents produced by previous ERA-NETs and JPI Oceans as well as ongoing external activities on this topic, carried out in other international fora (e.g., JPI-Oceans, EMB, EuroMarine networks)
The results will be merged into a Mid-term and a Final Evaluation and discussed within the Mid-term and Final Project Seminars organized by WP4 (MS5 &MS6)
Input to the synthesis of WP7 findings into SRIA recommendations (T7.5 and Deliverable 7.1)

Task Forward looking activities
Lead: RCN and Value Chain Supervisors; Support: All
Duration (months): 6-8…..
OBJECTIVES
To further understand research and innovation gaps that can underpin development of joint research programs in the value chain science

Task Forward looking activities
Lead: RCN and Value Chain Supervisors; Support: All
Three steps are foreseen:
Analysis existing value chains in the blue bioeconomy – focusing on challenges and societal needs – to identify hurdles in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and output.
Use scenarios to future-proof the blue bioeconomy value chains. – build on existing (ERA-MBT, COFASP, JPI Oceans) and upcoming (SCAR, NOVA) – identify gaps and bottlenecks in new and restructured value chains
Launch explorative activities to contribute to trans-national and/or cross-sectorial alignment of research agendas
Workshop (M12): Analyse the blue bioeconomy value chains and to identify research needs
Workshop (M17): Foresight exercise
Development of cross-sectorial and trans- national activities related to thematic areas
(M 16, 17, 27, 28)
