The 3 Research Themes will identify and support specific areas of work through the Forums. These Research Forums form the major scientific driving force of the MASTS community. The 12 Forums are designed to be dynamic and may be proposed by groups of MASTS members but may also be dissolved where lack of activity does not support their continuation. Each Forum has an elected Convener and an appointed Steering Group.
Forums are responsible for developing their research agendas, project consortia and undertaking targeted Knowledge Exchange activities. Forum Conveners also have oversight of any designated Community Projects.
If you are interested in proposing the development of a forum, please contact Prof David Paterson to discuss your ideas in the first instance.
Generalised Forum objectives can be summarised as:
MASTS was founded in 2009 to be a unique collaboration between marine research organisations, government and industry.
