Priority areas
The second Joint Co-funded Call within the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership is entitled “Unified Paths to a Climate-Neutral, Sustainable, and Resilient Blue Economy: Engaging Civil Society, Academia, Policy, and Industry” and encompasses all the four Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership Intervention Areas (IAs) converted for this call into four priority areas as follows: .
- Priority area 1: Digital Twins of the Ocean (DTO) at regional sub-basin scale
- Priority area 2: Blue economy sectors, development of marine multi-use infrastructures
- Priority area 3: Planning and managing sea-uses at the regional level
- Priority area 4: Blue Bioresources
it is requested to include a plan that describes what impact the research is expected to achieve in the long run and how it contributes to the overall impacts defined for the call:
• the potential for impact beyond the academic world, such as in societal, technical, environmental, economic, policy-making, or behavioural realms;
• how relevant stakeholders can be involved in, and/or benefit from, the design and achievement of the research project;
• to what extent the project addresses the uptake of research findings into decision-making processes and policy-making;
• how approaches for achieving impact are integrated into the research design and conducted by the consortium.
One way to make such a plan is to establish a methodology of Theory of Change (ToC) with a related Impact Pathway (IP) to describe the research process, mentioning well-specified outputs and outcomes.(see Annex A)
