If you're planning on being at ICARP IV - #ASSW 2025, in Boulder, Colorado in-person or virtually, consider submitting or coming to our session Brooks Kaiser (Deadline: extended until 9 October 2024 at 23:59 MDT!): https://lnkd.in/e5qw33gD 3. Understanding the dynamics and resilience of Arctic social-ecological systems to foster sustainable futures  # 3.1. Arctic Marine Research Agendas: Who writes the Saga? Arctic Scenario analysis frequently categorizes outcomes into four quadrants – along two axes: governance, and resources and trade. Of the four categories, Arctic Saga, Arctic Race, Polar Preserve, and Polar Lows, the first three reflect outcomes that favor different Arctic scales of interests, while Polar Lows is considered undesirable by most if not all stakeholders and rightsholders as providing neither local stability and quality of life nor global extractive benefits. Who’s “in” and who’s “out” in Arctic planning is a longstanding issue affecting within the marine realm, for example, Svalbard’s identity, the Arctic Council structure and its Working Groups (ie CAFF, PAME), the Polar Silk Road, and the Central Arctic Ocean fisheries policy. The challenge also impacts research agendas. In this multidisciplinary session, we discuss how agenda-setting in Arctic research priorities and funding strategies can affect these outcomes, with a particular focus on the role of academic research driven by actors not directly living or working in Arctic states. We anticipate differences in impact from the natural sciences and social sciences that stem from (1) scale of engagement in Arctic communities and environmental changes from local to global; (2) experience and expectations for transdisciplinary research and/or Indigenous engagement and inclusion needs, including longer research timelines and more diverse research outlets and forms; and (3) funding structures that limit such diversity as well as cross-scale research, amongst other distinctions along disciplinary lines. We illustrate with some background analysis of research communities in non-Arctic states, e.g. France, S. Korea, Japan and the UK.

🐟 🤝 Get to know AQUARIUS and our people! 📈 Today, we're highlighting our Funding Calls for Transnational Access to European Research Infrastructures. 🚀Exciting news: AQUARIUS will launch two Funding Calls to support researchers to travel to and use state-of-the-art Research Infrastructures across Europe, providing a unique opportunity to contribute to the EU Mission Ocean 2030. Mark your calendars for the call openings: 📞 Call 1 – Open: November 11, 2024 – January 20, 2025 📞 Call 2 – Open: September 2, 2025 – October 28, 2025 📌 Who is involved? This work is led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), supported by task leads from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) - Suomen ympäristökeskus (Syke), Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, INTERACT INPA and INKODE soc. coop. With contributions from other project partners including Marine Institute, FMI, EMBRC ERIC, EMSO ERIC , GeoEcoMar, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, and RBINS. 📌 What are we doing? Leading the design, development, and management of Calls for Transnational Access to the AQUARIUS research infrastructures. Our focus? To define the research focus area (contributing to the goals of EU Mission Ocean); to develop and manage a customised and user-friendly call platform, making it easy for researchers to apply; and to evaluate the proposals received, both in terms of research excellence and logistics. 📌 Why are we doing it? To support marine and freshwater researchers across Europe by providing free access to an incredible array of research infrastructures, creating an environment for excellent research and innovation projects that are fully equipped to address the challenges we face in marine and freshwater ecosystems. Ultimately, these efforts aim to catalyse scientific progress, foster collaboration, and drive innovation within the marine and freshwater research landscape, benefiting researchers, institutions, and society as a whole and driving us closer to achieving the objectives of the #EUGreenDeal and #MissionOcean.

🚨 Underwater Noise Joint Action update! 🚨 🌊 We're halfway there! The mid-term meeting of the five projects from the #JPIOceans Joint Action on #UnderwaterNoise took place on 20-21 June in Padua, Italy. 🛠️ Led by Italy and Germany, this #JointAction focuses on the impacts of underwater noise on marine ecosystems. The meeting served to assess #advancements, strengthen #collaboration, and plan impactful #dissemination of project results. 🔊 Presentations featured insights from the projects #ORCHESTRA | #DeuteroNoise | #DIAPHONIA | #SONORA | #PUREWIND 🎓 The meeting included a science communication training course and proposed activities to enhance outreach and engagement. Plans include educational materials, strategies for engaging policymakers, and webinars for scientists. 🤝JPI Oceans extends its gratitude to the University of Padua and the Italian Ministry for Universities and Research for the generous hospitality and support in hosting the mid-term review meeting. 📥 Read more about it and download the mid-term meeting presentations here: https://lnkd.in/d9rE9TYQ #MarineScience #UnderwaterNoise

🌊 AQUARIUS is participating in the EuroGO-SHIP Research Infrastructure Workshop today in Venice! We’re here to explore collaboration scenarios among Research Infrastructures (RIs) to promote research and innovation, identify synergies in RI functions, and develop RI-based solutions to tackle global challenges related to our oceans and waters. 🌐 🔍 Why are we participating? As a Horizon Europe Project, AQUARIUS focuses on integrating diverse research infrastructures across Europe and providing access to them via two Transnational Access Funding calls. Our goals in this workshop are to: ✔ Understand the landscape of ocean-observing RIs and projects. ✔ Network with professionals in this field. ✔ Raise awareness of available and emerging RI services and facilities. 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on all our activities! https://lnkd.in/euHeWKhN #ResearchInnovation #OceanScience #MarineResearch #FreshwaterResearch #EUResearch Marine Institute #EUGreenDeal Horizon Europe European Research Executive Agency (REA) #HorizonEU #MissionOcean DANUBIUS-RI ICOS - Integrated Carbon Observation System EMODnet EuroGOOS, European Global Ocean Observing System EuroGO-SHIP Project EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre EMSO ERIC Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership

Protecting the Ocean so that it continues to protect us - Europe’s leading Ocean scientists launch advice for governments Today we launch Navigating the Future VI (NFVI), a publication which provides governments, policymakers and funders with robust, independent scientific advice, focusing on the critical role the Ocean plays in the wider Earth system. Navigating the Future VI proposes the marine (natural and social) science research we need to help us address the challenges facing the planet, and with whom we need to collaborate to find solutions. It focuses on four main themes: #Ocean and #People, Ocean and #Climate, Ocean and #Freshwater and Ocean and #Biodiversity. NFVI provides research and policy recommendations and closes for each theme and closes by presenting cross-cutting requirements. NFVI was written by leading European Ocean scientists representing all EMB Member organisations (at kick off in 2022), spanning a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines and career levels. 🗣️ Join the conversation using #NFVIOcean #NFVIOcean #NavigatingTheFutureVI #OceanScience #MarinePolicy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EuropeanMarineBoard Ifremer Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR) Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) Kiel University DTU - Technical University of Denmark National Oceanography Centre Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi / Middle East Technical University Marine Institute GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel CNRS Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn Ruđer Bošković Institute Deltares NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research Atlantic Technological University Institut za oceanografiju i ribarstvo University of Agder (UiA) Hellenic Centre for Marine Research University of Gothenburg Aix-Marseille University University of Liège Institute of Marine Research (IMR), Norway OGS
