4 RESEARCH AND INNOVATION INITIATIVE FOR BLUE JOBS AND GROWTH IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA (BLUEMED) Fabio Fava (University of Bologna, Italy & IT Representative Horizon2020 SC2 committee) On behalf of the BLUEMED ad hoc working group
5 The BLUEMED initiative The BLUEMED Initiative fosters integration of knowledge and efforts of EU member states of the Mediterranean Basin to jointly create new blue jobs and a sustainable industrial growth in the marine and maritime sectors of the area. It was a priority of the Programme of the Italian Presidency of the Council of the European Union:., the Presidency will organise specific events and work with the Commission and Member States to define a Blue Growth flagship initiative for the Mediterranean. Work goes on under the Italian coordination with 8 other EU Member States (except Portugal, all bordering the Mediterranean): Cyprus, Croatia, France, Greece, Malta, Slovenia, Spain and - since July 2014 also Portugal. The process is supported and facilitated by the European Commission (DG R&I, DG MARE, DG JRC).
6 Why BLUEMED The Mediterranean Sea is a basin with unique bio-geo-physical characteristics and socio-economic features. It prominently contributes to the EU economy by: bearing 30% of global sea-borne trade with more than 450 ports/terminals, hosting the 2 World s largest market for cruise ships, half of the EU s fishing fleet and a unique cultural heritage and natural patrimony (400 UNESCO sites). It is facing prominent environmental challenges related to climate change, growing maritime traffic and pollution, overexploitation of fish stocks, invasions of alien species, etc. At the same time, local biodiversity and deep sea resources, tourism, renewable energy production, etc. are major local opportunities for blue growth and jobs only poorly exploited. Such challenges and opportunities cannot be addressed/implemented by any of the EU MS individually but require a common and shared Vision and a Strategic R&I Agenda (SRIA).
7 BLUEMED Strategic R&I Agenda: the process Needs & Gaps May 2014 >> Set up of the initiative and roadmap; June-August 2014 >> National mapping of R&I projects (about 900!) via public/private stakeholders consultations; merging of information and identification of R&I gaps & needs, opportunities and boundary conditions for their implementation. Vision September - December 2014 >> Sharing of the findings with relevant scientific communities and industrial associations at national and EU level. Set up of the Vision Document which was endorsed by the Italian Presidency of the EU Council and presented at the Competitiveness Council of December SRIA February 2015 >> Identification of the Key challenges and goals & actions according to the drivers boosting blue jobs & growth, knowledge transfer and SMEs participation April 2015 >> drafting of BLUEMED Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). May-September 2015: Sharing of SRIA with regional, national, EU and international public/private stakeholders; October 2015 : Publication of SRIA (updates will be made regularly every 6 months) endorsed by 14 EU Countries; 10 signed the Venice declaration on October 16,2015 ) BLUEMED Vision & SRIA available at: goo.gl/zbjtwh
8 BLUEMED Strategic R&I Agenda: new actions BLUEMED domain will be extended to all Countries bordering the Mediterranean, including the non-eu Counties joining EUSAIR, in the coming months. The newly identified priorities will be included in the BLUEMED SRIA. A BLUEMED CSA aiming at implementing the SRIA in the whole area will be on place in a few months. Some BLUEMED SRIA priorities were adopted by the DG RTD and DG MARE and included in their R&I WPs. 5 BLUEMED R&I priorities were included in the WP of Horizon 2020 SC2 with 43 M. Ministers of 9 EU MS of the BLUEMED initiative signed the Venice declaration and agreed to implement the BLUEMED SRIA via national and regional R&I programmes.

29 Workshop on The EUSAIR and the BlueMED Initiative: complementarity and mutual benefit MAIN QUESTIONS FOR THE DISCUSSION - What kind of complementarities can be established between the BlueMED and the EUSAIR? - How cross-sectorial coordination on R&I amongst the EUSAIR Pillars can be improved and how the BlueMED can help in aligning funds? - Are R&I gaps in candidate countries adequately identified and addressed? - How R&I needs and investment can be respectively better addressed and supported by the two initiatives? - How to use the EUSAIR and the BlueMED Initiative to reach out to more industries and clusters in the region? - How brain circulation between research and business community can be promoted in the region and notably between EU and candidate countries? Ivica Vilibić, vilibic@izor.hr Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries Split, Croatia
30 BLUEMED SRIA Key Enabling Knowledge 7EUSAIR Pillars Y The same objective - to make a region (Med, ADRION) more healthy, valued, known, resilient, sustainable Y Different in geographical coverage Y Different in R&I Agenda (Blue vs. Blue/Green/other), but strongly interconnected - Blue ADRION objectives should be a region-adapted version of BlueMed objectives
31 BLUEMED SRIA Key Enabling Knowledge from a perspective of EU candidates/newcomers is of utmost importance for keeping a nation/region healthy, productive, resilient, known and valued!!! 7 National stategies and Implementation plans (Smart Specialisation, Sustainable Tourism, Fisheries, Aquaculture, Innovation Stategy,...) 7 Understanding the ecosystem, sustainable exploitation, reducing hazard risks, adaptation to climate changes,... EUSAIR pillar 1 objective: To improve sea basin governance, by enhancing administrative and institutional capacities in the area of maritime governance and services it should be based on Key Enabling Knowledge
32 7 Strategies are incorporating all boundary conditions, like overfishing, climate changes,... 7 Going down to local (counties, cities, municipalities) 7 ICZMs, Development Plans, Spatial Plans,... Šibenik-Knin County
33 How brain circulation between research community can be promoted in the region and notably between EU and candidate countries? By stimulating (nationally, with an EU help): Y Senior and junior staff exchange, secondments between R&I institutions Y Networking events, joint workshops on specific topics Y Joint projects present funds (here ADRION) for R&I projects is not enough, research should be supported through joint region-wide R&I programming
34 There are different international R&I programmes dedicated to networking, transfer of knowledge, networking (a few examples for oceans that include EUSAIR and Med regions) Y EuroMarine, Y European Marine Board, Y MonGOOS Mediterranean Operational Oceanography Network Y... and more... Engagement of R&I institutions from candidate countries is an opportunity to boost their R&I capacities!
35 Are R&I gaps in candidate countries adequately identified and addressed? Y That is in fact the initial step to providing an added value to a national R&I capacities. Y It is a prerequisite for identification of national R&I priorities Y And even more important is to develop national instruments capable of supporting the prioritized R&I activities!
36 Key messages: 7 When talking about EUSAIR region, both EUSAIR Strategy and BlueMed SRIA are a framework to make the region more healthy, valued, known, resilient, sustainable transnational integration of R&I actions will provide an added value to national R&I activities 7 an opportunity from which any EU candidate/newcomer country (Croatia or whoever in the future) do benefit and MUST incorporate in national strategies and legislative

66 THE EUSAIR AND THE BLUEMED INITIATIVE: COMPLEMENTARITY AND MUTUAL BENEFIT " The value of training and capacity building M. Cristina Pedicchio OGS National Institute of Oceanography and Experomental Geophysics - Trieste Italy
67 Blue jobs Growth requires an appropriately skilled workforce, able to apply the latest technologies. We need to invest in training and capacity building. EUSAIR CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE: Capacity-building, including communication. BLUEMD aim: training a new generation of scientists, professionals, technicians and entrepreneurs that are able to tackle complex ecological, economic and societal problems from a holistic perspective for new and qualified jobs of the sea. Blue Careers and Blue Labs calls DG MARE
68 The importance of training, capacity building and mobility The knowledge and skills provided by educational establishments do not correspond to the Blue Economy's needs. There is currently a skills gap that must be tackled. Companies find it difficult to fill the vacancies they have. Meanwhile, unemployment levels grow. The Blue Economy sectors need to be made more attractive and exciting for students and HR in general. More mobility actions, both public-private as well as transnational are needed.
69 The Future of Jobs and Skills New categories of jobs will emerge, partly or wholly displacing others. 65% of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in completely new job types that don t yet exist.
70 Role of Science and Innovtion The marine and maritime sciences have a significant role to play in supplying training programmes which are designed to address the needs of industry, science and policy. The new 21st century marinemaritime scientist will need to possess both a cross and transdisciplinary perspective.
