San Sebastian, 11-13 June 2024 - In this 20th edition of AZTI´s Summer School, the topic proposed is “Bridging the gap between marine science and policy: Communicating for an informed society and decision-making". This year, the school is organized in the framework of several Horizon Europe projects: GES4SEAS, OBAMA-NEXT, BiOcean5D, ACTNOW, Marine SABRES and MARBEFES.

The main objective of the course is to present, both theoretically and practically, different tools and methods for a better transmission of the ideas, connecting science and policy in an effective manner.

To achieve this objective, the school is organised in three days, dedicating each of them to a target audience, combining the experiences from scientists, journalists, practitioners and managers in making science available for policy-makers.

The course is open for early career scientists, senior scientists wanting to better communicate, communicators, managers and policy-makers, to jointly debate this current hot topic.
