JPI Oceans is implementing actions and developing new tools to advance ocean research collaboration. It has developed strategic documents outlining goals and objectives. The Implementation Plan identifies 43 actions across 13 areas that can be carried out in the short and long term. Workshops were held to develop factsheets on potential actions. JPI Oceans is also partnering with Horizon 2020 and other programs to support its implementation and evaluation pilot actions. International engagement and leveraging existing resources and knowledge are also priorities to build an efficient interdisciplinary scientific community.

9. Building an efficient interdisciplinary scientific community
for Policy Relevant Knowledge (Workshop MSP 20 March 2015)
Developed a Factsheet with recommended actions (with rationale, objectives, expected
impacts and timescales), inventory of key players, projects and related initiatives
o Create a long-term knowledge hub in which planners and scientific advisers to the
Maritime Spatial Planning processes from local to international level can network and
share experiences of best practice:
o Develop the needed scientific knowledge base and scientific methodological advice
to support coherent long-term views and visions with optimal co-use of uses of the sea;
o Build human capacity by identifying the skills gaps and informing educational initiatives.
Tools of connectivity are priority: Extend expert group to include more multidisciplinarity and
project experience - increase cross-projects coordination – explore role of science for future
perspectives with potential joint call (beyond 2017?) engaging structural funds
o Lead country agreed Italy.

Evaluating the pilot actions
o Multi-use of infrastructures (North Sea): Cost implications of joint monitoring,
infrastructure sharing to address multiple policy requirements
o Ecological aspects of Microplastics: Linking a specific research community,
expert workshop identified needs, bibliometric study, testing how to engage
Member States in a joint call.
o Ecological aspects of Deep Sea mining: Combining resources, developing
science plan, developing integrated science advice for policy
o Intercalibration for EU Water Framework Directive: Novel way of sharing costs to
obtain science advice, making new connections between science community and
environmental ministries
