  1. IOC50 - International Conference 50 Years of Education and Awareness Raising for Shaping the Future of the Oceans and Coasts, St. Petersburg, 27-30 April 2010 Education at Sea – Education for the Sea Messages from the Ostend OCEAN SCHOOL 010 meeting J.P.

  2. Expression of the needs • Industry • Academia • Policy • Overview of opportunities • Infrastructure • Know-how • Programmes • Gap analysis and Action plans Data gathering and communication strategy

  3. The Engineer He knows “How” The Scientist He knows “Why” Expression of the needs • INDUSTRY (sea food, aquaculture, dredging, …) Multidisciplinarity Shape more “Polytechnicians of the Sea” Provide sea-going experience Co-ordinate better international educational efforts and models

  4. Expression of the needs • ACADEMIA • System view: based on strong background, understanding of ecosystems, of analytical tools (strengths and limits), observation, monitoring, ecosystem modelling, etc. • Applied research: sustainable use of the ocean, impacts of pollution, industry, maritime transport, protection, coastal defence, biotechnology, scientific support of ocean governance • Data management: data sets to be integrated, what are relevant data, where do I find these data, www.pangaea.de, ethics and attitude of data sharing • Museums: datasets accessible to students and scientists

  5. Expression of the needs (continued) • ACADEMIA (continued) New challenges – urge for education • Example from the shelf: linkages between fluxes (bio-geo-chemical), by observation, modelling, integrative approaches • Example from ecology: tipping points where systems change from one type to another one, but when and how happens this? Therefore you need observations in high resolution over long periods • Example from geosciences: ultra-high resolution of archives, predictive value in climate research, human impact assessment, testing of models of predictions

  6. Message Coastal stations & Regional vessels as Windows on the Ocean

  7. Expression of the needs • POLICY The learning of the Governance of the Sea, MPA’s The Belgian continental shelf • Navigation • Danger areas(old munitions) • Wind mill parks • Natural reserves • Gaz pipes and cables • Dumping areas • Fisheries and aquacultures (mussel) • Sand extraction

  8. Overview of opportunities “North-West European Ocean School” from Ostend to St. Petersburg at different levels from Secondary School (via undergraduate, graduate) to Doctoral School, FOCUZ EMBC

  9. Message • Shape regional Ocean Schools, with • an Educational dimension • a Scientific dimension • a Cultural dimension • Integration of master programs towards low-latitudes and developing countries Arctic Hanse Celtic B. Sea Al Andalus W. Med E. Med.

  10. Message: education @Sea Bring IOC-UNESCO TTR back alive: the power of the Floating University, breeding Science through Excitement Infrastructures and Know-how

  11. Core Science is the Literacy of the Ocean, of the Earth Message Embark students on affordable and sustainable advancedOcean Coring Exp. The technological overkill: from the Albatross pioneering expedition to IODP Towards a Core Science Academy (Science & Education)
