GAP2 timeline

6 RACs workshops -Strengthening scientific and multi-stakeholder engagement in regional CFP decision making and implementation

Regional case studies – participatory research actions and evaluation of participatory processes

Applied research in context of integration of the MSFD & CFP

How can GAP and the RACs help each other?

Showing that working together works

Promoting integration of know-how

Influencing research policy – strategic thinking

Making sure science is fit for purpose

National Scientists (Do strategic and

tactical research to underpin policy and

management)

Industry (Implement fisheries plans & contribute knowledge & data)

ICES Scicom (Identify and prioritise

research to match strategic policy needs)

Regional Advisory Councils (Prioritise research needs for long term

management, evaluate management options)

DG Mare (Implement CFP

and MSFD)

DG Research (Plan and implement

research programmes)

Tackle shared science problems through

participatory research

ICES WG scientists (Methods and approaches to

integrate data and knowledge for robust scientific information)

Knowledge & data to shape long-term

management plans

Policy objectives and management

actions

Knowledge for planning and evaluation (STECF) of

management plans for sustainable fisheries

Research priorities

Establish coherence in policy and research required to

meet long term needs

Research methods and knowledge up, priorities down

Funding for participatory research and capacity building

It’s not only what you do, it’s how you go about it

GAP aims & objectives delivered through WPs

Objective 3 (WP3) – Develop and demonstrate methods that bridge the research knowledge to policy making gap at the EU level

Objective 4 (WP4) – Evaluate the sociological conditions that influence whether, when and how participatory approaches make a difference

Demonstrate the role & value of participatory research to evidence-based policy

OBJECTIVES AND ASSOCIATED SUPPORT ACTIONS

Objective 1 (WP1) – Promote & enhance stakeholder involvement at regional & EU level

Objective 2 (WP2) – Enable & demonstrate two-way interaction and mutual learning among scientists, stakeholders and policy makers on defined local and regional issues

Promote & enable participation of stakeholders in systems of

research and governance

Objective 5 (WP5) – Engage society with science and vice versa
