Coordination of European Marine Fisheries Research Programmes
Steering Group and Work Package Management Group Meeting,
17th and 18th January 2006
Introduction and Overview of MariFish Work Programme
John Lock MariFish Coordinator
What is an ERA?
ERA stands for European Research Area. The ERA concept was launched as a major strategic goal for Europe by European heads of state and governments at the Lisbon Council in March 2000. Part of an overall agenda to make Europe the “most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based society in the world”, the aim of the ERA is to improve the coordination and coherence of European research.
What is an ERA-NET?
An EU funded initiative aimed at encouraging the co-operation and co-ordination of national research activities through networking of research programme managers.
ERA-NETS involve the funders of research, not research institutes.
Aim of MariFish
MariFish will bring together the major European national funders of marine fisheries research to form an effective, working partnership in order to:
Exchange details on national research programmes and identify areas of common interest, gaps and duplication.
Improve practices in the planning and procurement of research through shared knowledge.
Link with and influence existing coordination and collaborative systems
Encourage coordination of research activities in key subject areas
Identify and facilitate joint funding of a strategic, forward-looking research programme.
Annual spend by the 17 partners on fisheries related R&D amounts to approximately €160m.

Focus
To help MariFish achieve its many challenging goals the following statement of overall purpose has been adopted by the partners:
“MariFish will focus on that research which provides evidence to managers for the development of strategies for sustainable fisheries, including links with aquaculture, set within the ecosystem based principle.”
Objectives 1: Management
Develop a durable network of national research funders in member and associated states of the EU and integrate the new member states and associated partners into established common information, coordination and funding procedures. (WP1)
Exchange information on national commissioning mechanisms (procedures for establishing research needs, monitoring and evaluating research output) and develop procedures to establish common calls for funding joint research programmes, based on best practice. (WP2)
Objectives 2: Identification
Identify existing linkages and collaboration at the regional and international level and identify where more effective linkages are required. (WP3)
Identify linkages between fisheries and socio-economic sciences and consider how to achieve better integration for the benefit of fishery management. Identify other relevant disciplines outside mainstream fisheries science, assess present collaboration and enhance linkages. (WP4)
Objective 3: Analysis
Analyse nationally funded research programmes and identify where there are areas of common interest, gaps and possible duplication. (WP5)
Identify specific research topics which will benefit from collaborative pilot projects, jointly coordinated and managed through MariFish. (WP6)
Objectives 4: Implementation
Adopt a practical, direct approach to increasing cooperation and coordination by developing jointly managed research programmes in up to 5 key areas. (WP7)
Undertake a ten year forward-look exercise to identify strategic and innovative requirements for fisheries research and develop jointly funded programmes to address these. (WP8)

In summary what will MariFish help us to achieve?
- We will learn what each Partner’s priorities are for research, what is being funded at present, how the research priorities are chosen.
- We will get a clearer understanding of what research is undertaken outside ‘mainstream’ fisheries research, particularly on economics, and other related areas of research.
- We will select areas of research which will benefit from enhanced coordination and commission and jointly manage pilot programmes/projects.
- We will establish strategic requirements for R&D and commission and fund a strategic research programme.
We expect to also achieve:
- An enhanced role for funders in Marine Fisheries R&D decision making, including prioritisation and strategic decision making.
- Ensure appropriate prominence of Marine Fisheries research in EU funding programmes.
- Improved application of research to solving management problems.
- Bring added value to all our research budgets,
- and hopefully achieve a lasting partnership between funders.
