Dialogue 2 on “Opening marine research and innovation policies to the society” (ENGLISH Language) We asked national and international policymakers across Europe to identify,  if any, the main barriers to the inclusion of societal challenges in this context. These barriers are the object of the dialogues. Please read the barrier in the first post of the event below and start the discussion by giving us your opinion about which actions could be undertaken to overcome the selected barrier. Feel free to post videos, links, and to interact with other participants. For any information please contact: niamh.flavin@smartbay.ie Please note: the dialogue is entirely held on the MARINA event below, and requires you to be registered to the platform in order to participate (2 minutes to complete).
