On 20 September the European Commission is organising the annual Seminar on Fisheries Science aimed at exploring the research needs and priorities in the field of fisheries for the next decade.
The half-day event in Brussels will bring together a wide range of stakeholders in the common fisheries policy, including scientists and researchers, NGOs, the fishing industry, representatives from the European Parliament, the Council and member states, and from different directorates general of the European Commission.
The programme includes presentations on fisheries research projects carried out under research framework programmes and other Commission funded instruments.
Scientists involved in these projects will report on the outcomes, lessons learnt and recommendations from their work. There will also be a discussion dedicated to exploring the future prospects of fisheries, marine science and research where panellists will identify priority areas for future research and debate how to ensure the findings are reflected in policy making.
The 2019 Seminar on Fisheries Science is relevant in the context of the preparation for the implementation of Horizon Europe, the next EU research and innovation programme.
