Societal value creation is at the heart of the universities' third mission, and it is the ambition of publicly funded research. However, measuring and communicating the achieved and potential impact of research results is not always straightforward. Societal benefits arise from all disciplines and from a wide range of approaches to knowledge valorisation. Several initiatives have been developed to support researchers in identifying and presenting the value of their work for society. This way, researchers' work benefits from increased recognition and impact outside science, including informing policy making. Learn about successful practices to capture and promote the societal value of your research in this webinar! You can register to receive a reminder shortly before the Talk. You can also tell us the aspects of the topic which you would like speakers to explore. Registration is not compulsory to watch the event. No password or account is needed.

This seminar provides a platform for dialogue on the current and future science challenges, as well as a networking opportunity for all stakeholders, who have an opportunity to reflect on the state of the scientific advice and research on fisheries, and the challenges ahead. This in turn feeds into DG MARE's internal reflections to shape future policies or adjust current ones, of further relevance ahead of the next Commission mandate. Previous editionsThe 2023 Fisheries Science Seminar focused on the role of Citizen Science in supporting fisheries science and management. The 2022 Fisheries Science Seminar focused on the implementation of an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM).The 2021 Fisheries Science Seminar focused on Marine Protected Areas, and their possible benefits for attaining the objectives of the EU Biodiversity Strategy.
