The #OceanDialogues2019 is a joint event between the European projects MARINA and ResponSEAble on the role of Ocean Literacy and Responsible Research and Innovation in supporting effective Ocean Governance.

By working at the interface between society, policy and science, the event will address challenges such as engagement, co-creation and shared responsibility.
The outcome of the Ocean Dialogues 2019 will be a manifesto that will state how to make RRI and OL effective and successful including in seizing opportunities that the policy framework offers. The policy implications of the manifesto will be presented and discussed at a dedicated policy workshop organised at the European Parliament.
