Abstract

The BLUEMED Coordination and Support Action (CSA) has been funded by theEuropean Commissionwithin the H2020 framework programmewith 3M€ and itaims at supporting the implementation of the BLUEMED Initiative.The BLUEMEDinitiative offers a shared strategic framework for working towards a healthy,productive and resilient Mediterranean Sea that is better known and valued. It isdesigned to tap the full potential of the marine and maritime sectors, structuringtransnational cooperation to create new ‘blue’ jobs and to promote and improvesocialwellbeing, sustainable prosperity and the environmental status of the regionanditssurroundings.A key element of the project is the implementation of 4 Platforms, namely“Knowledge”, “Technology”, “Economy” and “Policy”, where stakeholders from theMediterranean basin, both from EU and non-EU countries, can interact and bringtheir expertise and competence to convey the message of national communities,sectors, agencies, institutions, to discuss and agree on gaps, needs, barriers andpriorities, explore synergies,define implementationand funding schemes.Theyareactive observatories providing a flexible framework for monitoring the system,updatetheneedsandthenpromotesolutionsinanintegratedway.TheNational Pivots (NPs) are key contributors to Platforms operation. They arerepresentatives of the partner countries whose expertise mirrors the specificplatform themes. Acting asmain interface between the BLUEMED CSA Consortiumand the stakeholders atnational level, theywill contribute to increasinglymobilizeotherrelevantnationalstakeholdersbycollectingandconveying theirmessageandbringbackthefeedbacks.The5thJune, intheCNRpremisesinRome,theBLUEMEDItaliannationaleventhasbeenthefirstmomentofinteractionbetweentheCSA,thenationalstakeholdersandtheNationalPivots.

Following their endorsement message Prof. Fabio Fava, Chair of the BluemedInitiativeStrategicBoard,presentedtheInitiative,itshistorysinceitsearlystagesin2014, during the Italian Presidency of the EU Council, when R&I gaps and needs,opportunitiesandboundaryconditionsfortheirimplementationwereidentified,theroadmap set and its goals and objectives agreed with stakeholders and the firstversionoftheStrategicResearchandInnovationAgenda(SRIA)drafted.SomeBLUEMEDSRIAprioritieswereadoptedbytheEUCommission,DGMAREandDGRTD,andincludedintheirR&Iprogrammes.DG MARE launched the Call for proposals: Blue Labs –innovative solutions formaritime challenges & Blue Careers in Europe (May, 2016) and Blue Technology -transfer of innovative solutions to sea basin economies (September 2016) and DGR&I included 6 BLUEMEDR&I priorities in the 2016-2017Working Programme ofHorizon2020SC2forabout€50Mallocatedtothearea.Finally,thedifferentlevelswheretheCSAandtheInitiativeactwerestressed.The BLUEMED Initiative acts at political level, i.e. facilitating the adoption of theBLUEMEDSRIAby theEUMember States of the area, promoting cooperation/jointactionswithotherregional initiatives(EUSAIRandWESTMED),andotherMEDR&Iinitiatives,promotingBLUEMEDintheframeoftheHighLevel/politicalevents,anditsR&IprioritiesandneedstowardstheEUCommission.TheBLUEMEDCSAsupportstheInitiative,wideningitinnon-EUcountriesborderingthe basin, updating the SRIA with the involvement of relevant stakeholders,promoting cooperation (via tailored meetings) among major EU projects (R&I,training,education,etc.),technologyclustersandplatforms,industriesandSMEs,andnetworks/organisationsactiveinthewholearea.The last part of the first session was dedicated to the presentation of 3projects/initiativesthatreflecttheobjectivesofBLUEMED,i.e.theSummerSchoolonBlue Growth in the Mediterranean, organised by OGS, the INNOBLUEGROWTHproject,coordinatedbyCONISMAandtheBlueNETproject,coordinatedbymareFVG,theMaritimeTechnologyClusterofItaly.Maria Cristina Pedicchio, the President of OGS, introduced the Summer SchoolSustainableBlueGrowth inMediterraneanandBlackSeacountries,an initiativethattacklesemploymentissuerelatedtotheBlueGrowth.INNOBLUEGROWTH is an Interreg Med Horizontal project where no research isenvisaged, but the activities aim at increasing transnational activity of innovativeclustersandnetworksofkeysectorsoftheMEDarea,namelyBlueEnergy,MaritimeSurveillanceandYachting.BlueNET is anEASME andEMFF co-financedproject coordinatedbymareFVG, theItalianmaritimecluster.ItcarriesoutnetworkingactivitiesamongmaritimeclustersintheareafromtheEastMedandtheBlackSeawiththeaimofspreadinginnovationandcreatingopportunitiesforSMEsintheBlueEconomy.


Session2–TheBLUEMEDCoordination&SupportActionChairedby theProjectManagerMargheritaCappelletto, thesecondsession focusedontheBLUEMEDCSA.The project coordinator, Fabio Trincardi, presented the structure and objectives oftheproject,itsconsortium,itsgovernanceanditsrangeofaction.Mario Sprovieri illustrated the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, itsstructure,goalsandactionsanditsupdatedversiondatedApril2017.AndreaBarbantiexplainedthe4PlatformsthatarethebackboneoftheCSAworkfortheupdateandimplementationoftheSRIA,theKnowledgePlatform(KnowledgeofMediterranean Sea dynamics and ecosystems), the Economy Platform (Economicsectors of Blue Growth economy in the Mediterranean), theTechnology Platform(Enabling technologies for Blue Growth in the Mediterranean) and the PolicyPlatform(SciencetoPolicyforBlueGrowth).EachplatformwillhaveacoordinatorappointedbytheprojectSteeringCommitteeandwillhaveaspermanentmemberstheNationalPivotsappointedineachcountryand the CSA partners representatives and as non permanent members thestakeholdersatbasinlevelandtheprojectpartners.The activities within the platforms will be carries out through meetings,workshops,questionnaires and consultationsand will result in white papers andreports.The platforms, acting at basin level, will have a mirror at national level (NationalPlatforms)foreachpartneroftheproject.Inordertocoordinatetheworkofthe4platforms,twoparalleltracksareforeseen:•Track1:specificactionstobecarriedouttosupportCSAworkflowandexpectedoutcomes•Track2:specificcross-cuttingissuesandchallengestackledbythePlatform.ItwillbethetaskoftheprojectCoordinatorandtheSteeringCommitteetomakesurethattheplatformswillnotoperateasseparatestreams.At the end of session 2, the Italian National Pivots and National PlatformsCoordinatorswereintroducedtotheaudience.TheNationalPivotsare:

Session3–LaunchoftheBLUEMEDNationalPlatforms(incooperationwiththeMARINARRIproject)Session3hasbeencarriedoutusingthetechniqueoftheOpenSpaceTechnology.Theaudiencewasrandomlysplitin4groups(basedonthemeetingroomsectors),eachfocusedononeoftheBluemedplatforms,andaskedtoprovideawritten(synthetic)answertothefollowingquestions(sameforallgroups):

1) Whichmissingthemes/aspectswouldenrichthepresentSRIA?(MAX2)Please consider your previous experience within your sector; the results ofpreviousR&Iinitiatives/programmesforBlueGrowthintheMediterraneanandin the European framework; the present reference frame and expectedtechnological/economical/politicaloutcomes.

2) Whichactionswouldbe important foranefficient implementationof theBluemedSRIA?What are the expected results with respect to the actions identified andclustered? Which tools would be more adequate to achive them? How couldeventualcriticalaspectsbemitigated?

Thisapproachwaschosentoenforceacross-cuttingfeedbackontheSRIAChallengesand Goals and to stimulate an initial discussion on BlueMed CSA and itsimplementation plan. The input received was very different depending on theplatformconsidered,bothintermsofquantityandcharacteristicsofthesuggestionsreceived.Evenwithinthesinglegroup,thefeedbackcoveredawiderangeof levels,frommainchallengestosingle,veryspecificactions.Nonetheless,theclusteringanddiscussionswithineachgroupallowedtogetsomepreliminary(thoughnecessarilyincomplete)outputthatwillcontributetotheprocessofrevisionofBlueMedSRIA.FortheKnowledgeplatform,theinputreceivedonthefirstquestionwasanalysedfocusing on twomain aspects: the extension of key enabling knowledge challengesandtherevisionofcross-platformchallenges.Theinputwasthenanalysedindetails,suggesting themodificationof the challengeonMediterraneandynamics to includepreviously missing related applications (such as safe navigation, blue maritimetransport, blue energy) and the inclusion of three new Challenges (related to thedefinition of observational needs and tools to advance knowledge frontiers, to theformationofnewcross-disciplinaryscientists,tothenecessitytoextendthescientificknowledgeonaquacultureandbiotechnologybeyondpurely technologicalaspects).Theanswerstothesecondquestionmainlyevidencedtheneedtosetupanefficientinteraction between the scientific community/stakeholders and the Bluemed CSA,andincludedspecificsuggestionsonthetoolsforanefficientimplementationoftheBluemedobjectives.


For theTechnology platform, the contributions received have been gathered intothe following 5 areas of intervention, that can be also viewed as a differentrepresentationofSRIAchallenges:

Accordingtothefeedbacksreceived,thedevelopmentoftechnologiesforcreatinganintegratedinformationsystemappearsacommonneed.Specificactionsregard(butare not limited to) the development of Integrated Med Portals for integration ofmulti-source\multi-dimensionalinformationanddataforharbors,coastalareasandplatformdecommissioning.Fortheotherareas,someinputrepresentsafurtherspecificationofwhatisalreadyincluded in the SRIA but some, truly representsmissing points. In particular, withregard to sea transport technologies, the topicof intermodal transportation systemwas not explicitly considered in the present SRIA, as well as the development ofcross-cuttingbiotechnologiesforgreentransports.Specificactionsproposedforthisareaare:i)theapplicationoftheITSparadigmtothemaritimetransportandii)thecreationandthestudyof the impactof infrastructures forthemanagementandthedistributionofalternativefuels.Forwhatconcerntheimpactofhumanactivitiesonthemarineenvironment,marinelitterrecoveryandrecycling,theidentificationandrecoveryofmunitionsdumpedinthe sea (involving also Policy interventions and Knowledge support) and thedevelopmentofinnovativecontinuoussedimentdredgingandcontrolsystemsareallnewspecificMEDtopicsworthtobeconsidered.A proposed new subject, naturally linked to the technology area for natural andculturalheritage,butcandidatetobecomeacross-platformthemeistheproposaltocreate Eco-sustainable off-grid seaside tourism along with the specific action todevelopintegratedinfrastructuresfortheseasidetourismindustry(e.g.bluemarinaswithnaturebasedsolutions).Besides the specific actions directly linked to the proposed new themes or to thepresentSRIAones,anumberofgeneral/transversalactionshavebeenalsosuggested,withspecificregardstoinstrumentsandtoolsthatcansupporttheirimplementation.Forconcretely tackle thekeychallenge ‘Enabling technologyandcapacitycreation’,relevant policy and economy frameworks for technology development need to beunderstoodandtailoredandsmartfundingschemestobedevelopedaccordingly.


For theEconomy platformthe input received on the questions was analyzed andthreemain aspectswere highlighted: lack in business culture according to a triplehelixmodel,aneedforanewintegratedtourismchain,theneedtorethinkfisheriesandaquacultureinamorecircularbioeconomicperspective.Theinputwasthenanalyzedindetails,suggestingsomemodification/additiontothechallengeon“KeysectoralenablersintheMediterranean”.With reference to thechallenge on Innovative businesses, the suggestion was tocreate a new goal to give more emphasis/support to whose researches andtechnologies which show greater economic impact, implementing actions forencouraging their technology transfer and diffusion, also supporting thecrowdsourcingofideasandscientificdatafromvariousseausers,socreatinganewgovernance of the fisheries sector specific for theMediterranean area, with a newcentrality.With reference to thechallenge on Tourism, a goal to encourage the integrationbetweentourismand"culturalheritage"shouldbeadded,alsoinordertofosterthedifferentiation / innovation of traditional coastal tourism and to develop aninformation-statisticalsystemabletodetectnewformsofcoastaltourism,aswellastomonitor/evaluate the impactof tourism(economic, social andenvironmental) insupportfordecisions.With reference to thechallenge on Fisheries and Aquaculture, some other actionsshould be included in the goals: to expand the bio prospective exploration toinvertebrates and vertebrates, to develop multitrophic but also politrophicaquaculture, to use the by-catch as a source of bioactive molecules, to introduceinnovativefeedinaquaculture,toconvertfishingactivitiesintoaquacultureand/ortourismactivitiesForthePolicyplatform, thegeneraldiscussionhasbroughtouttheneedofpayingattentionand focusing indepthsomekey importancegovernanceprinciplesaimedatbuildingupanallencompassingpolicywhichcouldcontributetotheenhancementofthebluegrowthintheMediterraneanarea.inparticular,fourmainareasofinterventionwereidentifiedasadditionalaspectstothe current Sria: Social awareness and participation in decision making, Data andinformation exchange (open access and open science, Cost effective technologyinnovation(andcirculareconomy)andfinallyTransboundaryandregionalpolicyandextraterritorialaction.Anumberofgoalsandactionswereproposedwithinthesefourareasofinterventionthatcanbefoundintheroadmapbelow.A synthetic presentation of the output for each platform, as elaborated by theNationalPivotandNationalPlatformcoordinators,isincludedbelow.
