Start year 2003 End year 2005 Funding (€) € 373,882 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/Q5AM-2002-00413 Summary The proposal aims at establishing closer co-operation in and co-ordination of scientific studies and RTD projects with leading research centers in EU countries and Baltic states in the field of marine science with a special emphasis on sustainable fisheries. It will be realised through a number of measures such as training courses, workshops, visits by senior scientists from the EU to the Centre and vice-versa, post-doctoral studies, etc. The main innovation of the project lies in broadening the Centre's research strategy from fishery-focused to ecosystem-oriented, including the principles of sustainable development, the cost-benefit approach and environmental protection. The realisation of the proposed package of measures will promote the Centre to the level of other advanced laboratories and will result in providing decision-makers with comprehensive scientific advice for sustainable development.
Goals:
(1) To increase the Centre's ability in: (i) providing scientific advice on stock management, including ecosystem and socio-economic factors, (ii) advising how to provide consumers with safe fish products of the highest possible quality; (2) To strengthen connections and co-operation with the European network of marine and fishery research centres. Realizing these objectives will allow management to be provided with comprehensive scientific advice; it will also fill in at least some of the gaps in fishery science which exist between the EU and remaining Baltic Sea countries while improving the co-ordination of research between relevant institutes in the Baltic area.
