The Joint Pilot Actions are now fully operative!
Following a collaborative process among more than 70 stakeholders at the Atlantic level, the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance Multi-Stakeholder Platform identified existing initiatives towards strengthening marine research and innovation collaboration at the Atlantic level, as well as gaps, needs, and recommendations to achieve the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance goals. Based on these findings and on the idea of collaboration, alignment, and use of existing resources, they have developed six ambitious and long-term collaborative Joint Pilot Actions, which are:
- The All-Atlantic Ocean Capacity Development and Training Platform (AA-TP)
- The All-Atlantic Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (AA-ATiP)
- The All-Atlantic Marine Biotechnology Initiative (AA-BIOTECMAR)
- The All-Atlantic Data Enterprise 2030 (AA-DATA2030)
- The All-Atlantic Blue Schools Network (AA-BSN)
- All-Atlantic Marine Research Infrastructure Network (AA-MARINET)
The six All-Atlantic Pilot Joint Actions (JPAs) have been launched this year, and they are now fully operative. Since their launch, the JPAs are organising events and workshops to promote their objectives and to gather new stakeholders. The All-Atlantic Blue Schools Network has also already developed its own website! Check it out here. The other JPAs websites will be available soon.
The JPAs are now busy preparing the calendar of activities for 2022. The long-term vision of the Joint Pilot Actions objectives is the pillar of the AANChOR CSA legacy, and crucial for the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance ambitions.
