MASTS is made by and for its members
Welcome to MASTS Research
MASTS Research Forums and Working Groups form the major scientific driving force of the MASTS community. Both are designed to be dynamic platforms of networking and knowledge exchange in specific areas of research, and act as centre points for expertise and excellence within the marine science community.
A major objective of MASTS is to enhance the marine research environment through improved co-ordination and collaboration. Under the flag of its three major Research Themes, the MASTS community is reaching this goal through several active Research Forums and Working Groups:
Facilitating networking, exchange of information and research submissions by bringing together people and expertise through regular meetings, workshops and retreats.
Creating outputs by identifying research gaps, priorities, emerging issues, and funding mechanisms. Inclusion of Early Career Researchers, introduction to research landscape and encouragement of grant applications.
Securing appropriate scientific representation on strategically important bodies to ensure feedback to the MASTS community. Developing a structured approach to the provision of impartial advice to key stakeholders.
Communicating & trans-lating research outputs to key stakeholders and developing a co-ordinated approach to interactions with funding bodies, Government and other stakeholders.
Proactively developing a national, regional & sec-torally relevant strategic research agenda to provide direction and a measure of priority to research in the particular area.
MASTS was founded in 2009 to be a unique collaboration between marine research organisations, government and industry.
