Improving scientific knowledge to strengthen the science-basis of management decisions under the CFP – Förderung EU-weit

Objective: One of the main principles of good governance applied to the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is that management measures must be based on the the best available scientific advice. This call for proposals specifically targets gaps in scientific knowledge required for CFP implementation, rather than funding general marine research or market-ready commercial innovations. However, it highly encourages projects that promote progress beyond the current state of the art in fisheries science. ">Conditions 1.
