In order to best support the policy making process and to be at the forefront of foresight initiatives in the marine research domain, the Marine Board takes the responsibility to establish vision groups of key European experts to investigate crucial scientific issues of strategic importance with the aim of developing a short vision document. Vision documents are short and highly visual, written and designed with the primary aim of raising the profile and awareness of a topic among an identified target audience.
Previous vision documents include:
Marine Renewable Energy: Research Challenges and Opportunities for a new Energy Era in Europe (September 2010)
An overview of how marine renewable energy can provide innovative solutions to address increasingly urgent energy challenges PDF [1.65 MB]
EMODNET, The European Marine Observation and Data Network (joint Marine Board - EuroGOOS publication, September 2008)
A vision for an end-to-end, integrated, inter-operable and user-oriented network of European marine observation and data systems PDF [6.72 MB]
