10 The BONUS thematic symposia series I BONUS symposium: Science delivery for sustainable use of the Baltic Sea living resources Tallinn (EE), October 2017 An Estonian EC presidency event Core contributions by BONUS INSPIRE, BIO-C3, GOHERR; contributions from BONUS BAMBI, BALTICAPP, BLUEWEB CHANGE, BALTCOAST, OPTIMUS, as well as BONUS+ ECOSUPPORT and IBAM 150 registered participants representing all Baltic Sea states, the Netherlands, Norway and the United States II BONUS symposium: Shipping and the environment From regional to global perspective Gothenburg (SE), October 2017 Core contributions by BONUS SHEBA (the EU SBSR flagship) and the international Surface ocean - lower atmosphe study (SOLAS) 117 registered participants representing 14 (!) states: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Sweden, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, PRC, United Kingdom and the United States III BONUS symposium: Sustainable ecosystem governance under changing climate and land use in the Baltic Sea Gdansk (PL), March 2018 Core contributions by BONUS BALTICAPP, GO4BALTIC, MIRACLE and SOILS2SEA abstract submission and registration ongoing More BONUS symposia to come! -

11 BONUS final evaluation...overriding conclusion is that BONUS has been in many ways a great success.. BONUS was relevant...remains relevant.....small but potentially important contribution to EU science diplomacy......bonus has clearly made contributions to a wide range of EU policy objectives... al_bonus_report.pdf?

12 BONUS final evaluation BONUS has... clearly increased the level of cooperation among researchers...had something of a structuring effect enhanced research capacity...and increased both the quantity and the quality of relevant scientific output addressed key societal and environmental challenges been very efficient coheres well with other aspects of EU policy reduced fragmentation of research and made it more integrated and interdisciplinary than before pulls together the available resources, provides a greater impact from research and raises its international visibility

13 BONUS future Towards sustainable blue growth Joint Baltic Sea and North Sea research and innovation programme to be developed as Coordination and Support Action during Underpins EU and national policies and strategies e.g. Europe s blue growth strategy Elevates the Northern European region s research and innovation capacity Provides a decisive boost in development of a sustainable marine and maritime economy Builds on the legacy of BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea research and development programme Seeks synergies with JPI Oceans and other ongoing initiatives
