The European Union’s response to the 2030 agenda of the United Nations Organisation is “The new European consensus on development of ‘our world, our dignity, our future” <ref> [https://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/sites/devco/files/european-consensus-on-development-final-20170626_en.pdf] “The new European consensus on development of ‘our world, our dignity, our future” </ref>. The document highlights that “the EU and its Member States will integrate the respect of human rights, democracy, the rule of law and gender equality into their political dialogue” and that “sustainable development requires a holistic and cross-sector policy approach and is ultimately an issue of governance which needs to be pursued in partnership with all stakeholders and on all levels” . Accordingly, the topics addressed at the MARINA workshops have been related to Sustainable Development Goals  such as:
* SD Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere;
* SD Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all;
* SD Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all;
* SD Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all;
* SD Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all;
* SD Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation;
* SD Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements safe, resilient and sustainable;
* SD Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns;
* SD Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts;
* SD Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources;
* SD Goal 17: Strengthen means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development.

==Background and Overview==
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.


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.

==Objectives==
The MARINA project has identified the following six objectives:


<br> 1. Engage citizens and stakeholders in a highly participatory debate/consultation/process for federating Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) communities and initiatives, by supporting the Science with and for Society Community by facilitating new and lasting partnerships, cultivating joint visions and scenarios that connect societal needs with future expected advances in Science related to marine issues and their impact on the Societal Challenges.
<br> 2. Create and validate a comprehensive networking and knowledge sharing platform (KSP) for relevant projects, service contracts, marine actors, educational institutions and citizens, to support and enable discussion, Mobilization and Mutual Learning, knowledge exchange and co-production of different communities related with the MARINA key strategic issues (environmental issues, sustainable development, policies and educational challenges) in the perspectives of the societal challenges and the RRI topics.
<br> 3. Federate RRI communities including citizens in the KSP also by using an online platform for experimentation, training and knowledge and expectation capturing for facilitating the dialogue and shared understanding among scientists, policymakers, citizens and other stakeholders.
<br> 4. Deliver guidelines and good practices for RRI assessment and promote them to CSOs, industry stakeholders, policy and decision makers, research funders, educational institutions to foster their adoption as a potential benchmark in setting-up RRI processes.
<br> 5. Provide recommendations and policy options for RRI relating to marine issues at EU, national and subnational
levels.
<br> 6. Communicate and Disseminate broadly in Europe early in the project for enabling the MARINA activitiesand creating RRI and Marine issues awareness; and outside Europe through the partners and associated partners’ wide professional and social networks to promote the European leadership in RRI governance.

The Marina proposal overall aim is to create an all-inclusive Knowledge Sharing Platform (KSP) catalyzing and organizing the convergence of already existing networks, communities, online 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 for 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 relates to the development of a MARINA PEDIA according to the standards and principles of the Wikipedia.


Mobilisation and Mutual Learning Workshops (MML)

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.

MML workshops and Sustainable Development Goals

The European Union’s response to the 2030 agenda of the United Nations Organisation is “The new European consensus on development of ‘our world, our dignity, our future” [1]. The document highlights that “the EU and its Member States will integrate the respect of human rights, democracy, the rule of law and gender equality into their political dialogue” and that “sustainable development requires a holistic and cross-sector policy approach and is ultimately an issue of governance which needs to be pursued in partnership with all stakeholders and on all levels” . Accordingly, the topics addressed at the MARINA workshops have been related to Sustainable Development Goals such as:

  • SD Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere;
  • SD Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all;
  • SD Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all;
  • SD Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all;
  • SD Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all;
