They will discuss the barriers and synergies encountered across the case studies of the project. \nCo-Opt early career researchers are: Dr Elina Apine (University of St Andrews)\, Dr Amani Becker (National Oceanography Centre)\, Dr Sara Kaffashi (Cranfield University)\, Dr Constantinos Matsoukis (National Oceanography Centre)\, Dr Marta Meschini (University of Liverpool) and Dr Marta Payo Payo (National Oceanography Centre). \nFor more information on Co-Opt please visit their Website here. \n\n \n  \nThe Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Programme is funded by UKRI and addresses critical marine research gaps\, which span a variety of disciplines\, from natural capital to ocean literacy and systems-based management. The growing SMMR-Network offers regular Webinars and Trainings for the marine community\, aiming at connecting science and policy to improve management of the UK marine environment. \n

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar "Balance and Beauty of Science and Humanities"
DESCRIPTION:Recording available on the SMMR YouTube Channel!\n  \nThe Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Network is excited to host Professor Anton Edwards\, marine physicist and independent marine consultant for this free online Lunchtime Webinar!\nJoin us for this month’s theme:\n________ \nThe Balance and Beauty of Science and Humanities\n“Science or humanities acting alone cannot deal successfully with all issues. The uses and beauties of the humanities need to be balanced by those of science. Despite the differences\, both are constrained in their creativity by their contexts. In this webinar I offer a few simple – even naïve – perspectives on this age-old dichotomy\, in the hope of promoting a little more unity and mutual respect.” \nProfessor Edwards has been the rector of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)\, independent scientific panel member for the Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC) and has focused his work on applying oceanography to issues of ocean circulation coastal pollution\, defence\, aquaculture and marine management and regulation. \n________ \nInterested? Just select the number of tickets you’d like to acquire below\, register and a link to join will be send to you shortly before the event.  \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n \n  \n________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\nThe Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Programme is funded by UKRI and addresses critical marine research gaps\, which span a variety of disciplines\, from natural capital to ocean literacy and systems-based management.
