DRAFT PROGRAMME
EU-Brazil Atlantic Ocean Research Cooperation
Rio de Janeiro, 16 and 17 November 2015
Scientific Workshop
Aims & Objectives: Key Questions to be answered:
1. What are common (Brazil- Europe) knowledge gaps where co-operative research efforts are needed?
2. How can we (Brazil- Europe) better share knowledge on existing activities, projects or systems already in place and how can connectivity between on-going knowledge generation be assured?
3. How to foster joint (Brazil- Europe) access to existing knowledge to maximise its exploitation and impact (e.g. access to data, needs for data exchange and standards, etc)?
4. How to promote Brazil-Europe-Brazil mobility and training so as to establish lasting cooperation partnerships?
Output: Workshop Report summarising and making recommendations regarding:
Knowledge gaps identified and recommendations to deal with them jointly;
Ways to maximise sharing of existing knowledge (or of knowledge being generated);
Ways to support joint access to existing knowledge to maximise its exploitation and impact.
