The Marina proposal overall aim is to create an all-inclusive Knowledge Sharing Platform (KSP) catalysing and organising the convergence of already existing networks, communities, on-line platforms and services providing an online socio-technical environment that facilitates and stimulates the direct engagement of researchers, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), citizens, industry stakeholders, policy and decision makers, research funders and communicators for improving Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). The involvement of the [[Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute]] (CNTI) in the project is twofold; on the one hand, it is responsible of facilitating the implementation of two national and eight international Mobilisation and Mutual Learning (MML) Workshops by employing the methodology of the [[Structured Democratic Dialogue]] while on the other hand, its task relate to the development of the MARINA PEDIA according to the standards and principles of the [https://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia].

==Background and Overview==
==Mobilisation and Mutual Learning Workshops (MML)==
Federating RRI Communities and stakeholders is a complex task mainly due to the interactions of controversial nature, the implications and consequences of the current and future research and innovation activities. This complexity ought to be modelled, clustered and approached by a systematic set of actions. This is the starting point of the MARINA philosophy.
 
The Mobilization and Mutual Learning (MML) workshops constitute an integral element of the MARINA project that aims at federating communities in familiarizing with and adapting [[Responsible Research and Innovation]] (RRI) in the marine sector. The MML workshops engaged multidisciplinary groups of participants including citizens, NGOs and CSOs, students, researchers, business representatives, policy makers, experts in communication and other kind of
stakeholders in an attempt to identify actions and solutions towards current and emerging marine and societal challenges in the perspective of the [[Responsible Research and Innovation]]. In particular, the following eight marine challenges were addressed during the workshops:

The workshops:
* Engaged European societal actors in a multi-actor dialogue and in co-creating a participatory roadmap of actions for tackling the marine societal challenge and based on Responsible and Innovation principles;
* Started the process of federating Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), citizens, businesses, industry, research, policy-makers and communicators face-to-face and on-line;
* Set in motion inclusive mechanisms for sharing knowledge and best practice, building common understanding and co-creating solutions to marine societal challenges and based them on the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation;
* Facilitated federation of communities and networks on the MARINA digital platform.
 
 
 


There is still significant work to be done on better aligning EU research and innovation with societal needs, and harmonization in EU innovation policy. MARINA will make a major step forward in addressing this requirement across a range of vital societal issues through its focus on marine related challenges. Although focusing on the marine thematic area, and drawing from all (not only marine) RRI communities, projects, actors, etc. and from existing good practices and findings, the project will develop RRI-methods and policy support tools for marine
related policies. However as these clearly address a range of key societal challenges the KSP developed will be highly relevant to other initiatives with a focus on other policy areas.


To this purpose a range of specific, broad scale, key strategic issues which require the full development of an RRI approach and involvement of citizens organisations and RRI actors will be taken into account as direct working examples to consolidate the RRI federation and provide relevant output to the policy makers marine issues such as but not limited to: 1) Marine Biotech, 2) Sea Transportation 3) Deep Sea Mining including bio prospecting, 4) Marine Change caused by Climate, 5) Renewable Energy (wave, wind, tidal) 6) Tourism and Coastal Cities, 7) Fishing and Aquaculture, 8) Pollution caused by human land and sea pressures.
