Seminar on Fisheries Science 2019: science and research for the next decade

On September 20th, the European Commission is organising the annual Seminar on Fisheries Science dedicated to exploring the research needs and priorities in the field of fisheries for the next decade.

The half-day event in Brussels will bring together representatives from a wide range of stakeholders in the common fisheries policy, such as scientists and researchers, NGOs, the fishing industry, representatives from the European Parliament, the Council and Member States, and from different Directorates General of the European Commission.

The programme of the seminar includes presentations on fisheries research projects carried out under research framework programmes and other Commission funded instruments. Scientists involved in these projects will shine a light on the outcomes, lessons learnt and recommendations from their work. There will also be a panel discussion, featuring various stakeholders, dedicated to exploring the future prospects of fisheries, marine science and research. Panellists will identify priority areas for future research and debate how to ensure the findings are reflected in policy making. The 2019 Seminar on Fisheries Science is very relevant in the context of the preparation for the implementation of Horizon Europe, the next EU research and innovation programme.
