DRAFT PROGRAMME

EU-Brazil Atlantic Ocean Research Cooperation

Rio de Janeiro, 16 and 17 November 2015

Scientific Workshop

Aims & Objectives: Key Questions to be answered:

1. What are common (Brazil- Europe) knowledge gaps where co-operative research efforts are needed?

2. How can we (Brazil- Europe) better share knowledge on existing activities, projects or systems already in place and how can connectivity between on-going knowledge generation be assured?

3. How to foster joint (Brazil- Europe) access to existing knowledge to maximise its exploitation and impact (e.g. access to data, needs for data exchange and standards, etc)?

4. How to promote Brazil-Europe-Brazil mobility and training so as to establish lasting cooperation partnerships?

Output: Workshop Report summarising and making recommendations regarding:

Knowledge gaps identified and recommendations to deal with them jointly;

Ways to maximise sharing of existing knowledge (or of knowledge being generated);

Ways to support joint access to existing knowledge to maximise its exploitation and impact.
