The workshop will be held on Thursday 19 June in the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium, Brussels (KVAB-Academy Palace - Hertogsstraat 1 - 1000) from 09:30-16:30. It will be followed by a drinks reception.
This workshop will bring together key stakeholders to discuss how research can effectively contribute to MSFD implementation. Speakers from the European Commission will set the scene and update participants on the latest developments. Key results and recommendations arising from the STAGES project will be presented and discussed with the participants.
This event is extremely timely given the current status of MSFD implementation and the latest discussions on the establishment of a Marine Competence Centre for GES (MCC4GES) hosted by the Joint Research Centre, a partner in the STAGES project.

STAGES is a FP7-funded project that is directly responding to a request from DG Environment to put a support action in place to facilitate the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Under the MSFD, EU Member States are expected to assess the overall status of their respective marine environments and to put in place the necessary measures to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) by 2020.
The STAGES project is being carried out by a consortium of eight partners in seven countries and is being coordinated by the Centro Tecnológico del Mar (CETMAR) in Spain. STAGES has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 308473.
