EurOcean is organizing a workshop about deep sea mining which will be held on Monday 7 May 2018 at the Gulbenkian Foundation, a wonderful venue in the centre of Lisbon, Portugal.

The event is an activity of the MARINA project, the only H2020 initiative focused on implementing Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) within the European marine sphere.

Throughout the day we will employ the Structured Democratic Dialog Process (SDDP) - a workshop facilitation method that uses a dedicated software to discuss, aggregate and rank ideas previously developed by the participants - to achieve a common vision about this triggering question:

>> How can Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) serve to bridge deep sea mining, sustainability and policy?

To know more about Deep Sea Mining and how it relates to RRI please have a look at the event's brochure.

Registration closed on 20 April 2018 but anyone can have access to all the event's materials, results and final roadmap by entering the MARINA Community Platform.
