+| align="center" |Over five years ago, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) was adopted with the aim of protecting and managing our seas and oceans in a sustainable way. The Directive sets an ambitious objective: to achieve and maintain the good environmental status of European seas and oceans by 2020. The Healthy Oceans – Productive Ecosystems (HOPE) Conference, on 3-4 March 2014 in Brussels, will bring together all those working with or in relation to the European marine environment and will provide them with the opportunity to discuss progress made over the past 5 years, the problems that still remain and the solutions for improved coherence and better marine governance. http://ec.europa.eu/environment/marine/hope-conference/index.htm

On 7th March 2014, iMarine is organizing an interactive workshop "iMarine data platform for collaborations" to showcase how its powerful data infrastructure is capable of addressing the challenges of the Ecosystem Approach. The workshop also offers important opportunities to work together on developing plans related to iMarine sustainability, such as the public partnership model concept, as well as engage new potential users and partners for the future. The workshop is co-located with the Fishery Dependent Information conference and will take place at Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) headquarters, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00153 Rome, Italy.

-* URL:
-* Brief Description of Event: The Commission is organizing a workshop in Rome, on 17 (afternoon)-18 September on Arctic and Marine Research Infrastructures: it will gather key European stakeholders (ESFRI and other relevant European initiatives, FP7 Research Infrastructures coordinators etc.). It will take place just before a EU-Canada-US Symposium on the same topic. The objective of the workshop is twofold: - identifying areas and ways of cooperation with third countries, in particular US and Canada; - discussing European research infrastructures strategies, in particular in the context of the work of ESFRI, and synergies between key European initiatives and infrastructures projects. We expect in-depth discussions and exchanges on three key overarching issues: a) science planning from the short- to the long-term; b) coordination, harmonization and access to facilities and data; and c) proposing, evaluating and funding research infrastructures. The outcome of the workshop will feed the above mentioned Symposium. We tentatively estimate the number of participants to around 50.  For your information it follows a series of workshopsorganized in other fields e.g. on research infrastructures for atmospheric or biodiversity/ecosystems research (information can be found here http://www.test.ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=synergies). The workshop will take place in Rome, hosted by CNR. Contact to attend the workshop: Agnes.ROBIN@ec.europa.eu
