Future Earth and its partners aim to bring together 50-70 scientists and stakeholders to make significant progress on the design of the Future Earth Oceans Knowledge-Action Network. The primary aims of the workshop are:
- To assemble representatives from several existing academic and practitioner communities dealing with ocean sustainability
- To discuss core ideas, practicalities and expectations for an Oceans Knowledge-Action Network, including a synthesis of outcomes of recent, related workshops (e.g. organised by SOLAS, CLIVAR, SSEESS, IMBER and others)
- To share information on areas for potential collaboration
- To identify prospective partners (especially non-academic, action-oriented groups) who may be part of transdisciplinary teams to respond to funding calls for research (e.g. Belmont Forum CRA; Future Earth’s Fast-Track Initiatives; foundations; World Bank and GEF)
