Since the establishment of the European Committee for Ocean and Polar Sciences in 1989, a lot has been done to bring some of the grand challenges for ocean and polar science under the attention of policymakers. After the publications of the "The Ocean and the Poles: Grand Challenges for European Cooperation" by G. Hempel et al. in 1995, the European Science Foundation (ESF) had set up the Marine and Polar Science Board (EMaPS) to bring the main experts in Europe together to coordinate specific marine, polar and joint activities. Since that time, the experts from the European Marine Board have published 25 Position Papers, 6 Future Science Briefs, 6 Policy Briefs and several other publications on various marine scientific topics and how these link to various societal challenges. In her presentation, Sheila linked the main conclusions and recommendations of these various publication and demonstrated how these were taken up by policy makers and various stakeholders.
