From: Interactions between oceans and societies in 2030: challenges and issues for research
Objective | Group involved | Outputs |
|---|---|---|
1st phase: Defining methodology and conceptual framework | Group of 11 Prosper experts | A clear methodology for study. A grid of analysis of interactions between 9 societal functions and 11 maritime activities |
2nd phase: taking inventory of interactions between 9 societal functions and11 maritime activities | Group of 11 Prosper experts | Identifying interactions between oceans (maritime activities) and societies (societal functions) |
3rd phase: analyzing interactions of oceans and societies and clustering them (2 successive phases) | Group of 11 Prosper experts | (1) 370 interactions selected, grouped into initial 42 “families” and further grouped into 9 “major challenges”. (2) breaking down each major challenge into 2 issues by 2030 |
4th phase: a survey in order to rank research issues and to gather open comments | 141 people among 1200 contacts | Ranking of the 18 research issues and structuring the comments into 5 fields |
5th phase: Writing study report, presentation to relevant bodies and dissemination | Group of 11 Prosper experts | Final report sent to all Prosper network members and presented to institutions of the network |
