3rd Marine Board Forum: New technologies for a blue future
Marine Board, Bruxelles, Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts, 18 aprile
Thursday 22 March 2012
The 3rd Marine Board Forum will examine emerging or future “Blue Technologies” which are either used in, or drawn from, the seas and oceans and which could have the potential to make a significant contribution either to marine science or to society.
Through a mix of presentations, networking and panel discussions, the participants will tackle the following questions:
• What blue technologies can we expect in the future?
• What impacts might they have on science and/or society?
• What training, knowledge-transfer and funding support is necessary to fast-track blue technology development?
Who should attend the Forum? European and national policymakers, advisors and programme managers, scientists, industry and NGOs.
