JPI Oceans seminar January 2019
The seminar aimed to inform and interact about ongoing JPI Oceans actions and projects and their policy impact; to galvanize synergies and collaboration with the European Commission, European Parliament and other international (scientific) organisations and highlight the added value of JPI Oceans and its importance in the marine research policy landscape.
