The Annual ICES Science Conference (ICES ASC) offers five days of marine science in Riga, on 19-23 September 2016. BlueBRIDGE will showcase its services via an exhibition booth and a training workshop.
ICES, as a partner in the project, is using BlueBRIDGE’s underlying infrastructure and Virtual Research Environments (VREs) to facilitate tasks that require computing capabilities, data sources harmonization, and rapid dissemination of results.
In particular, ICES scientists have contributed to the development of the following BlueBRIDGE VREs:
-
Western horse mackerel Management Strategy Evaluation (CEFAS): a VRE that implements a management strategy evaluation (MSE) that evaluates whether harvest control rules (HCRs) meet both conservation and stability objectives for the Western horse mackerel stock;
-
Ensemble Model (CEFAS): a VRE aimed to implement an ensemble multispecies stock model structured by species and size;
and several other VREs are under development.
Workshop “The BlueBRIDGE stock assessment VRE” on 21st September
BlueBRIDGE VREs are designed to serve different stakeholders, including research institutes and international organisations. BlueBRIDGE workshop will provide a venue where scientists:
-
Can discuss the benefits of using VREs in the fisheries sector;
-
Can learn how to easily set up VREs to solve specific problems;
-
Can identify new collaboration opportunities;
-
Can provide inputs and suggestions on the BlueBRIDGE tools used to support the ICES activities.
In addition to the ICES conference registration, in order to participate to the workshop participants need to send an expression of interest to [email protected].
