1. What is a JPI ?

2. Policy context

3. Vision & Governance

4. International Dimension

5. Next steps

The JPI added value

• Not a new EU FP Instrument• High-level commitment MS policy driven•Long term perspective & capacity building• Different typologies of actions, EOOS, KIC, In-kind (85%), funds, networks..- FP8• Variable geometry (global approach vs local solutions)• Stakeholders participation (multi-sectorial)• Science to policy mechanism• Common strategic agenda• Visibility

WHY a JPI• Respond to societal and policy needs (EU 2020/Innovation Union…, Com (534)2008, Through a partnership approach

JPI is a long process..a leg to build the ERA towards

providing knowledge-based solutions to Grand challenges

An Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union (2007)

MSFD/GES, Marine Spatial Planning

Maximising the value of the maritime economy

A Marine and Maritime research strategy (2009)

EU 20-20 Objectives and Flagship Initiatives (rescource,, innovation, international,..)

Plus, international scheme for greenhouse gas emissions

Responding to policy needs

JPI Oceans - Grand Challenges 

Enable the advent of a knowledge based maritime economy, maximising its value in a sustainable way

Ensure Good Environmental Status of the seas and optimise planning of activities in the marine space

Optimise mitigation of climate change impacts on maritime sectors and coastal areas

Vision - Systemic change

JPI identified broad cross thematic/sectoral interdisiplinary marine environment, climate change and human activities.

Regional specificities (cover all seabasins)

In particular MSFD and Marine Spatial planning

ESA Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on 14 June 2008, Resolution mode to provide a spatial resolution of 300 m

Roadmap 2011-2012 20 september: Endorsement of Vision document,

Mapping, Terms of Reference by the Management Board

CSA (FP7) to support the JPI OCEANS (build a durable interface science-economy-policy in order to develop a credible SRIA)

to establish executive and advisory structures, to provide the procedures for the continuous development and implementation of a strategic research innovation agenda (SRIA) to be adopted by the MB itself on a variable geometry

20. september 1st MB CSA Oceans submitted on December 1st 2012: Establish STAB meeting (CSA)
