The project will focus on the following priority issues:<\/p>\n
\n- Coastal science and management:<\/strong> science, management, technology and policy issues related to the coastal zones and land-sea interactions in general; particular attention will be based to adaptive co-management and policy and technological innovation in support to adaptation plans; another major foci are tourism and urbanisation, and integrative solutions for addressing these challenges.<\/li>\n
- Delta science and management:<\/strong> science, management, technology and policy issues related to delta areas, particularly targeting Mekong and Red River (VN); the foci will be on urbanisation, sustainable agriculture and aquaculture, pollution prevention and control, and sustainable regional and urban planning informed of ecosystem services and nature-based solutions.<\/li>\n
- Area-based management:<\/strong> the focus is on policy and management instruments, such as marine protected areas, pollution control zones, or fisheries closures, and other institutional frameworks and marine spatial management tools, which are in use or under development in order to ensure sustainable governance of marine resources and to prevent potential conflicts.<\/li>\n
- Fisheries, seabed resources & food security:<\/strong> science, management, policy and technology in support sustainable fisheries and sustainable seabed management; the theme further involves such governance aspect as interactions of actors, drives and impacts relevant for sustainable management of marine bioresources, trade-offs it involves (e.g. related to aquaculture, biodiversity conservation, urbanisation and tourism, navigation and harbour development).<\/li>\n
- Offshore exploration & mining:<\/strong> science, management, technology and policy in support to sustainable offshore mining and exploration, recognising the scale and importance of the issue in MY and its growing importance in VN; a particular attention will be on interactions and trade-offs with other MARE themes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0<\/h4>\nCurricula<\/h4>\n
The action will mostly focus on bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s levels (revision of curricula, development of new courses and modernization of existing ones, launching of new specialization streams), however it will also address selected aspects of doctoral provision (development of multidisciplinary research agenda, development of organizational capacity for networking and joint research). The MARE e-learning system will be developed in order to enable sharing and dissemination of learning contents across the project network; series of webinars for master\u2019s and PhD students will be piloted and arranged as regular events; interactive e-courses with case studies\u2019 collections will be developed for each of the priority areas.<\/p>\n
Communities<\/h4>\n
Business and policy communities will be targeted by annual academia-praxis national seminars and the formal praxis-academia network to be established on the seminars. The national and international academic communities will be reached through annual international conferences followed up by special issues of high-impact international journals.<\/p>\n
Capacity Building<\/h4>\n
The capacity-building action will be supported by equipment and software acquisition for HEIs in partner countries, and by training for academic staff, PhD students, IT and administrative staff. The training events will be on multidisciplinary research methodology, research tools (in particular geospatial) and project priority issues, on curriculum development and teaching tools and methods, and on ICT issues.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
