Start year 2008 End year 2011 Funding (€) € 3,645,772 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/212969 Summary The project will investigate how different actors in the marine sector, including fisheries, make use of scientific knowledge, how the roles that scientists play help formulate policies and how governance approaches can be developed which enable policy decisions to address uncertainty and complexity based on research and with the participation of stakeholders. The project will collect and build on experiences from a diverse range of EU policy areas which address interactions between human activities and nature.
(1) To examine and develop the institutions, practices and tools that allow complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity to be dealt with effectively within participatory decision-making processes; (2) To examine how scientific information is used and what types of roles scientists play in the formulation of policies; (3) To study how the current scientific processes take into account the multi-objective nature of fisheries management; (4) To synthesise the obtained views and to redefine the institutional role of science in EU polices to improve the overall governance in CFP.
