Roundtable for Policy makers

InnovaMare partnership consortium is organizing Roundtable in Venezia in February. Roundtable will be addressed at policy-makers, to foster dialogue and exchange best practices in the field of Blue Economy and innovative blue technologies, enhancing cross-sectoral cooperation to support the creation of favourable framework conditions for a cross-border innovation ecosystem enabling growth, competitiveness and technological leadership in the field of underwater robotics and sensors.

Invitation to take part to an online Roundtable for policy makers and stakeholders on Blue economy and blue technologies (18-19/02/2021)

The Unioncamere del Veneto invites you to the Round Table for policy makers and stakeholders in the blue economy and blue technologies, as part of the InnovaMare project, which will take place online on February 18 and 19, 2021, organized by the Unioncamere del Veneto from Italy.

The Regional Union of the Chambers of Commerce of Veneto Region (Unioncamere del Veneto) is a partner of the strategic project InnovaMare «Blue technology – Developing innovative technologies for sustainability of Adriatic Sea», coordinated by the Croatian Chamber of Economy and co-financed by Interreg VA Italy-Croatia Programme (2014-2020). The activity is aimed at enhancing framework conditions at cross-border level by reinforcing capacities, both at strategical and operational level, to develop an innovation ecosystem promoting breakthrough technologies for the environmental sustainability of the Adriatic Sea, with a focus on underwater robotics and sensors. It will be a 2-days online Roundtable for Italian and Croatian policy-makers and stakeholders, to foster debate, transfer of knowledge and exchange of best practices related to such strategic topics, applying a quadruple helix approach.
European top-level experts will join the event as speakers, carrying out targeted interventions on key issues related to blue economy, sustainability of the Adriatic Sea, technological innovation, with the objective of gathering policy recommendations to support the development of a cross-border Innovation ecosystem in the field of underwater robotics and sensors.

We are glad to invite you to participate to the Roundtable, assisting to the foreseen working sessions, with the possibility to take part to the debate.

In case you need further information, do not hesitate to contact our team:

Ocean sciences essenziali nella lotta contro il cambiamento climatico

On October 25, Ifremer, the CNRS and the IRD, with support from the Ocean & Climate Platform, Thomas Pesquet and ESA, are launching a digital world tour of ocean and climate sciences, christened OneOceanScience. Scientists from the entire world are participating. Together, they will explain why ocean sciences are essential for better understanding and protecting the ocean. “Why does ocean science matter?” They’re sounding the alarm: the ocean’s well-being affects all of us and it should be a central part of the climate negotiations.

SHARING OCEAN KNOWLEDGE FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Brought together by OneOceanScience, 37 scientists from 33 countries will speak up through a series of short videos on the immersive platform oneoceanscience.com. They’ll talk about why ocean science is essential. (“Why does ocean science matter?”) They’ll explain how the ocean and climate are linked and what solutions they’re working on to preserve ocean ecosystems and society in the face of climate change.

ISS Commander in chief, Thomas Pesquet, will share his vision of the ocean and lend support to scientists.

Thanks to support from the Ocean & Climate Platform, the OneOceanScience campaign will also be present at COP26 in Glasgow to represent ocean sciences ahead of the international negotiations.

OCEAN AND CLIMATE ARE INTIMATELY INTERCONNECTED

Recognition of the ocean’s true value is well overdue. As it covers more than 70% of our planet, it connects us, feeds us, gives us energy, heals us, and inspires our dreams.

“Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of extreme events and need to manage climate change risks. Venice is considered a hot spot due to its fragility and risk exposure, but also a precious natural laboratory” Debora Bellafiore, an oceanographer at CNR-ISMAR who deals with hydrodynamic modelling.

Today, the message from the scientific community is clear and the facts are beyond a doubt: our future depends on a healthy ocean and we need knowledge from scientific activity to better protect it.

OneOceanScience, REPRESENTING OCEAN SCIENCES AT COP26

Financed by the Ocean & Climate priority research program and categorized as a UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development action, OneOceanScience will kick off COP26’s day on oceans—Ocean Action Day—on November 5 in Glasgow.

“To understand the role of the ocean in the climate system it is crucial for climate change mitigation. This requires to study ocean processes and climate variability and to develop and maintain a multi-platform ocean observing system. CNR-ISMAR is strongly committed to this global challenge, mainly focusing on the Mediterranean Sea that currently warms at a rate of 20% faster than the rest of the globe. COP26 and the Ocean Decade are the best opportunity for the world to recognize the role ocean in climate mitigation and move finance decisively in the direction of strengthening the ocean research” Rosalia Santoleri, Director of CNR-ISMAR.

The aim of the OneOceanScience campaign is to reach over seven million people around the world.

Gian Marco Palamara, CNR-ISMAR-Roma
“Integrated Modelling for Integrative Ecology”

ABSTRACT: Ecology is a discipline with flexible boundaries, where characterizing species interactions and ecosystem responses often requires accounting for the complexity, nonlinearity, and stochastic nature of biological and environmental processes.
In this talk, I will present different ecological case studies combining experimental and theoretical approaches to explore population and community dynamics under environmental stress and spatial heterogeneity. In the first part of the talk, we analyse long-term experiments on Daphnia galeata exposed to sublethal pesticide concentrations using a stochastic, age-structured population model. Bayesian inference reveals significant treatment effects — particularly for the insecticide Diazinon — on mortality and fertility, with clone-specific responses reflecting potential adaptation. The model also accounts for strong demographic stochasticity, supporting more reliable interpretation of ecotoxicological data. In a second case study, we develop stochastic models for multi-species systems, including food webs and metacommunities. Using continuous-time Markov processes, we revisit functional response theory, predator prey equations, and finally explore biodiversity dynamics in dynamic landscapes modelled as time-varying random geometric graphs with neutral dynamics. Among other things, our findings show that fluctuating connectivity can enhance both local and regional species richness, offering new theoretical insights into spatiotemporal drivers of biodiversity.
Together, these studies demonstrate how stochastic models can reveal hidden mechanisms in ecological systems — from controlled experiments to complex landscapes.

Gian Marco Palamara was born in Rome and trained as a physicist. For over a decade, he has worked internationally at the intersection of theoretical ecology and ecological modelling, collaborating closely with empiricists to develop robust theoretical frameworks for understanding the drivers of biological diversity. More recently, Gian Marco has been exploring integrative approaches to ecology that bridge disciplinary boundaries, drawing together insights from the mathematical, natural, and social sciences.
