2nd Annual partners meeting in Athens
From May 10th to May 13th, all partners meet in Athens for the 2nd Annual Partners Meeting of ResponSEAble. This event is organized back-to-back with the annual meeting of our sister EU-funded project SeaChange.
The meeting will investigate the key principles of effective Ocean Literacy (OL), (a) reviewing progress with project activities and (b) investigating during interactive workshops the way individual Work Packages (WPs) can jointly contribute to so-called “ResponSEAble stories” (a combination of ecosystem challenges and socio-economic developments seen as key to the future of our European seas). It will also provide the opportunity for the launching of ResponSEAble’s Ocean Literacy Think Tank (OLTT), a group of high-level experts and stakeholders that will guide us in contributing cost-effectively to Ocean Literacy in Europe. Finally, the meeting will pave the way for activities to be implemented in 2016-2017.
Common SeaChange & ResponSEAble workshops will be organized during this Athens week. These will discuss: knowledge for OL; assessing the effectiveness of OL; and, opportunities for transatlantic initiatives on OL.
