Plenary Panels

Panel 1. Open Science - toward an ethical scientific policy

Tuesday, Plenary room, 11h00 – 13h00

New efforts to make research products more freely available to other researchers as well as journalists and interested readers, are bringing to relevant actions, including targeted agreements or collective efforts for granting open access beyond economic imbalances.

The panel will elaborate on current actions to make scientific research publications and data accessible, shared and developed through collaborative networks. It will tackle the benefits and potential challenges of open science practices, toward more ethical and sustainable scientific policies.

Thursday, Plenary room, 10h30 – 13h00

The Panel will focus on the processes that regulate and mediate the relationship between individuals and their marine environment, by highlighting environmental perceptions, attitudes, evaluations, and representations, as well as the behaviours that accompany them. A special attention will be dedicated to generational differences in climate-related beliefs, risk perceptions and emotions.

Friday, Plenary room, 10h00 – 12h00

What the most exotic place to jump from real politics to ancient myths?
Due to its geological and hydrological setting, the Mediterranean has a lot to say on most relevant Earth’s and climate transformation events. Its Straits, connecting this semi-enclosed sea with Earth Ocean, play a pivotal role. Inspiring ancient myths evolving through the culture of fishing villages or enlightening modern hydrodynamic theories with application in renewable energy sectors, Mediterranean Straits are well known since their ancient history, for their economic, strategic, and political importance. This Panel will tackle all Mediterranean Straits’ aspects, encompassing their physical, ecological, economic, strategic, legal, and political importance.
