MSP4BIO 3rd Science Policy Dialogues Think Tank: Advancing Biodiversity Integration in Maritime Spatial Planning
On October 24th, 2024, in Marseille, the MSP4BIO project will host its 3rd Science Policy Dialogues Think Tank event. This event will take place following the MSP-GREEN & REGINA MSP Joint Closing Conference and will be held at the same venue. The Think Tank will run from 15:00 to 17:00.
The prior objective of the MSP4BIO Project is to advance the integration of biodiversity into Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). In line with this goal, MSP4BIO has established a series of Science Policy Dialogue Think Tanks, aimed at bringing together experts, scientists, and policymakers at both the EU and regional seas levels. These collaborative sessions focus on co-developing innovative solutions for incorporating biodiversity into MSP, fostering policy alignment, and ensuring that science-based approaches are effectively communicated to policy actors.
