Marine Board Communications Panel
• “Panel” of the MB-ESF - collaborative network of marine communicators across Europe.
• Facilitated by the MB-ESF Secretariat
• Not be financially assisted beyond the organisation of meeting rooms.
• Mutually assist its members in promoting and communicating marine science across Europe and exchanging ideas on events, communication methods and best practice.
www.esf.org/marineboard
Focus on Marine Board Position Papers
Are we delivering the message effectively?
www.esf.org/marineboard
•Address subjects of European dimension which are of strategic importance for marine sciences
Terms of Reference agreed & Chair appointed
Working Group composed of national experts (8-12) invited and nominated by Member Organisation Delegates.
Usually 3 meetings. 18 month duration (approx.)
Expected output: MB Position Paper (peer-reviewed)
Outcomes and impact:
subject to be taken into account by national and European programmes Uptake by policy makers Enhanced interaction and elaboration of common views by scientists, leading to new projects
Requires effective dissemination to end-users!
