The role of public science & technology
in supporting the maritime activities
(focused on MED)

R&I in the service of Economy and Society - Thessaloniki, 30 May 2014
ECONOMY does not act in isolation….
COM (2011) 200: A PARTNERSHIP FOR DEMOCRACY AND SHARED PROSPERITY WITH THE
SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN + Facility for Euro-Mediterranean Investment and Partnership
Trade and investment are engines for growth
and help to reduce poverty. They bring people
together, securing ties between nations and
contributing to political
stability.
Focus on: support for the
private sector and creating an
investment-friendly
environment.
CAIRO DECLARATION OF THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE ON THE
ENVIRONMENT (2006): peace
vs prosperity
Inclusive Wealth Report 2012: prosperity is not only
limited to GDP…human and natural capital.
The health of human and natural capital is
fundamental for investments-labor-growth.
The role of RESEARCH & INNOVATION (1/2)
Knowledge /

The role of RESEARCH & INNOVATION (2/2)
…credible
salient
Not a comparative advantage
but
a shared value
(Porter & Kramer 2011,
Harvard Business Review)
…responsible
…sustainable
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY should no more act in isolation…

MEDITERRANEAN:
• small and crowded…
•competing claims
• shared space and resources
Marine Environment

Human Activities
Climate change
Only this?
Maritime industries and sectors (in EU, 2012, source DG MARE):
Mature activities:
Growth stage:
Pre-dvlpmnt stage:
•tourism,
•shortsea shipping,
• shipbuilding
• fishery & aquaculture
•offshore oils & gas
•coastal protection
•marine aquatic products
•offshore wind
•cruise shipping
•monitoring and surveillance
•bio-tech,
•renewable energy
•mining
Productivity
Employment
EMPLOYERS
Eurostat, 2012
Be careful to aims…
GDP ≠
employment ≠
prosperity
From the DIAMOND of national advantage (Michael E. Porter, Harvard)
“Only companies can achieve and sustain competitive advantage….
Companies achieve competitive advantage through acts of innovation, skills and knowledge”
Skilled labor/
infrastructure
Domestic rivalry/
management
Home market
Related and
supporting
industries
The role of public research:
shaping the opportunities for knowledge-intensive economy:
a problem of timescales and budgets (but legislation…)
CHANGE is UNNATURAL act: static efficiency or dynamic improvement?
In practice, a challenge:
many Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas…to boost economy?
Technology Platforms: WATERBORNE, EFTP, EATiP…
Member States initiatives: Seasera , COFASP, JPI Oceans
Shopping lists?
Common denominators?
Enablers?
From the “Study to support the development of sea-basin cooperation in the Mediterranean,
Adriatic and Ionian, and Black sea (Feb 2014) Contract MARE/2012/07 N°2“
From the MAPPING of EXISTING INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS with a specific focus on Blue
Growth and related initiatives:
MED SEA extract from the main findings:
Environmental issues represent a major concern
Tourism is major topic for Med cooperation
Maritime transport : (i) major sector in most countries; (ii) cooperation justified by
integrated procedures and management systems, and by the need for common rules and
common risk prevention systems; (iii) especially critical for islands
Marine aquaculture : focuses on research and capacity building between old/new EU
countries and EU/non-EU countries.
BLACK SEA extract from the main findings:
The vast majority of initiatives have been implemented by – and provided benefits for - the
public sector….. this suggests that there should be greater future emphasis on public-
private partnerships and the development of business to business
linkages ,
coastal tourism,
ship building.

Exploitation of mineral resources, energy

Sustainable Fishery and aquaculture
• Climate change and impacts
• Biodiversity and conservation biology
• Deep sea ecosystems
• Biological invasions
• Marine pollution
• Ocean & health
• Socioeconomics & policies
• MSP & ICZM
• Marine hazards
• Living marine resources
• Ocean energy
• Marine biotechnology
• Maritime transport & marine environment
• Operational oceanography
Research gaps….but
feasibility + timescales
vs
impact + coherency
between instruments and
actions for cooperation and
funding
Strategies & programmes vs actions:
a governance and motivation challenge

So: “The role of public science & technology
in supporting the maritime activities”…
“Another surprise is that corporate-sponsored
inventions spur more 'knowledge spillovers', on
average, than federally sponsored research”
(Wright et al. 2014, Nature)
Some ideas…
Pollution:
Offshore:
Human Capacity:
Observing/Infra:
New topics:
so: industry should not write the
agendas for academy, but indeed
science should focus on relevant
and salient issues with impacts
on reasonable timescales.
mitigation and remediation?
surface infra + environmental impacts?
Marine & Maritime programme?
relevant support/services?
response to emergencies? Impacts of climate change on jobs?
Key messages:
coherency, feasibility, timescales, adopting the right instruments/actions…:
Horizon 2020? Structural funds? Trans-national cooperation? P2P?
Cross-cutting approach:
focusing on SUSTAINABILITY? ...a possible ERA scenario…, or: next slide…
