Descrizione del progetto
La ricerca per rilanciare l’economia blu nel Mar Nero
Il futuro del Mar Nero è una delle principali preoccupazioni dell’UE. Il documento prospettico di Burgas, pubblicato nel maggio 2018 nell’ambito di un’iniziativa sostenuta dalla Commissione europea, delinea il quadro chiave per garantire lo sviluppo sostenibile del Mar Nero entro il 2030. Il documento si concentra sulla creazione di un’agenda strategica per la ricerca e l’innovazione basata sull’identificazione dei problemi fondamentali, senza tralasciare lo sviluppo di tecnologie avanzate e l’istruzione. Il progetto Black Sea CONNECT, finanziato dall’UE, sosterrà lo sviluppo dell’economia blu nella regione del Mar Nero attraverso la cooperazione di soggetti interessati del settore scientifico, tecnologico, industriale, politico e logistico. Il progetto assocerà la protezione ecologica, la crescita economica, lo sviluppo delle infrastrutture e la ricerca scientifica.
Obiettivo
Restoring and maintaining the resilience of the Black Sea ecosystem, while enabling a sustainable exploitation of its natural resources is vital. A better coordination and alignment of research and innovation efforts alongside developing improved knowledge base and joint infrastructures could substantially support this timely challenge. Towards this end the Burgas Vision Paper was produced, by an initiative supported by EC, as the key framework document for a shared vision for a productive, healthy, resilient, sustainable and better-valued Black Sea by 2030. It addresses the four key pillars on which a new Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) and its Implementation Plan can be built on: (1) Addressing fundamental Black Sea research challenges, (2) Developing products, solutions and clusters underpinning Black Sea Blue Growth, (3) Building of critical support systems and innovative Infrastructures, (4) Education and capacity building. Building on this recently emerging policy framework, the core contribution of the Black Sea CONNECT CSA will be to scientifically, technically and logistically support the Black Sea Blue Growth Initiative towards the implementation of the Burgas Vision Paper, with a view on boosting the blue economy in the region. The overall objective is to coordinate the development of the SRIA and its implementation plan both at national and regional level. The SRIA and its implementation plan will guide stakeholders from academia, funding agencies, industry, policy and society to address together the fundamental Black Sea challenges, to promote blue growth and economic prosperity of the Black Sea region, to build critical support systems and innovative research infrastructure and to improve education and capacity building. The project will support the design of synergistic activities such as developing an operational network of funders, new transnational joint activities and achieving the knowledge transfer.
